New alloys just arrived

Now then...

My new 18 inch RS6's have just turned up. How can I protect them / enhance them?

My Collinite 476 says it can be used on all metals, can I add a few layers of wax to add to the protection etc?

Would be easier to do it in house rather than when on car.

Cheers

Take them to a paint/body shop and get a couple of extra coats of clear on them, then put the tyres on.

Or just use a heavy solid wax a couple of times.

Just Give Them A Good Wax Over.

I Did This Once, Wheels Looked New For 5 Years.

collinite would be okish, but it doesnt stand up to the temps very well imo, still works tho.

IVe got some chemical guys wheel guard and was very impressed by how easy the wheels were to clean after 1k miles.

You could also try Chemical guys jetseal 109, this is meant to be awesome on wheels but havent had time to do mine yet.

Plus it doubles up as a brill sealent for your paint...

As above, I bought some poorboys wheel sealant but from what I've heard the Chemical Guys wheel sealant is about the best out there with its new anti-static formula which repels brake dust.
