Bodywork wax on alloys?

[Nick_J]

Hi

I am thinking of taking each wheel off tomorrow to thoroughly clean them (waxed the car last weekend)

I dont have any poorboys wheel sealant, but I do have lots of poorboys natty blue paste wax.

Is it ok to use the Nattys wax on the wheels instead? i dont see any reason why not?

What different chemicals are in the poorboys wheel sealant if anyone knows?

Thanks for your help

Hi Jace, yeah I saw your Poorboys wheels sealant test, just haven't got round to ordering it yet.

I reckon the two products are actually fairly similar, both are their to protect the metal

The Natty's is quite a "solid"set wax type, the sealant is almost like a paiste, but like you say, they both are designed to perform & do their job, anything is better than nothing IMO

Anything will be better than nothing. Nattys and NXT are not at all durable and so would need to be done every week.
Poorboys Wheel Sealant is designed to with stand the high temeratures of brake dust and should make cleaning much easier. My wheels have 3 or 4 coats of wheel sealant and the most they need is soapy water to get them clean. Wheel cleaners and APC will remove Nattys and NXT almost immediately and will not do any good for a wheel sealant.

Ok thanks for that, I only ever use warm water to remove brake dust, car basically doesnt do enough miles.

Wheel sealant is preferable then, due to higher temps, need to buy some soon then, rained too often this weekend to get round to do them anyway.

Thanks everyone
