I've got 4 lovely new alloys sitting the in corner waiting to go on the car once I've used up the tyres on my old alloys.
I've brought some Poorboys wheel sealant off PB (fantastic service as usual).
Should I treat the alloys with the Poorboys stuff or apply a wax or polish to the wheels before applying the Poorboys sealant?
Cheers
Matt

No essential need for anything else, just get 2-3 coats of the Wheel Sealant on every visible surface. No need to wait between coats, just apply the first, allow to haze for ten minutes then buff, then apply the second, and so on. Top up every 4-6 weeks or so for maximum protection through the winter, and make sure you wash off the brake dust every week if possible using normal suds. I will soon be doing a range of wheel care kits that will include Jeffs Werkstatt Prime Strong as a basecoat for Wheel Sealant, as this extends the protection by quite some margin, and serves as a light polish to remove any stubborn traces of brake dust (use every six months or so). :)

Cheers. Gonna start doing the wheels this lunchtime and over the next week should build up a nice few layers of protection on them!

I followed PB's advice a few months ago, in the same position as yourself (i.e. wheels not on the car yet) - I punted 2 coats of Poorboys Wheel Sealant on the wheels before I put them on - the best 1.5 hours you can spend. If I hadn't desperately wanted to drive the new car out of the showroom I'd have spent another 45 minutes and done a third, but new car'itis got to me.
Anyway - did a third when I got home and have had great success with it since - still some agitation required with a microfibre mitt and normal suds, but come up clean every time. That never happened in years gone by. Not after 8,000 miles including tracktime.

Anyway .. just some user experience of that process for info.

PS. sealthe insides too - you might never do it again depending on how fussed you are about taking wheels off, but the jet wash does a good job on mine and they've not been properly cleaned or re-sealed since original purchase.

Another vote for the Poorboys sealent here it's the best product I've ever used for alloys.
