Alloy Wheel "Wax"

[Marcozi]

I just had my car's alloys refurbished (Wheels On Site; great work) and I'd like to protect them with some sort of wax or coating. I've used Rejex and others. Whay do you recommend?

TIA!

I used to use Rejex a number of years ago but got lazy and started using the Turtle Wax Hybrid ceramic spray wax when I pull my wheels to change between summer and winter wheels. A good cleaning and 2 coats of the spray wax and they stay very nice and are easy to clean. I do the entire wheel, inside barrel and the face.

I just happen to have some Turtle Wax Hybrid ceramic spray wax. I'll give it a try.

Thanks!

I always use an airbrush and IGL Eclipse.

A decent wheel coating will give you the best results.

Gtechniq C5 has worked well for me. I'm about 3 years in and it's still easier vs uncoated wheels to clean.

What makes a wheel wax better than a regular car wax???? They are both painted surfaces..

Resistance to heat usually.

very high quality alloys like the Budniks i had on my 72 olds cutlass look like chrome!! + a typical alum polish works best

I washed the wheels and applied TW Ceramic Spray Wax.
