Default Alloy Wheel Protector

Is there such a thing that you can apply to your alloys to repell brake dust etc.

Im thinking of getting white alloys and im dreading of having to clean them, so anything to make that easyer.

Hi andy , how are ya .
I use the poorbopys wheel sealant on my white ri,s , and they seem to come up great ,

The only thing i think i did wrong was the first time i used it it didnt seem to help at all , but then i found out i may have buffed it off way too much , and obviously took it back off the rim , now i just give it the coats and gently buff off the hazey left overs and it is bloomin marvelous

Another vote for Poorboys wheel sealant, great product and really does make your alloys easier to clean when you have a couple of coats on. Always good to have some protection too, essential at this time of year!

Also when cleaning your alloys DON'T use an acidic wheel cleaner, a because it will ruin your loverly alloys and b, its bad for your health if you breath in the spray. I am using the blackfire wheel and tyre cleaner and its very good stuff. Pretty much the same as the Menzerna 7.5 wheel and tyre cleaner.
