I want to give my alloys a nice coat of protection. Last year I used Gtechnique C5 and it was expensive but lasted almost a year. I have been using Chemical Guys Wheel shine and wax but have to apply it every other month and I wondered if I could do better? I want something that protects the inside of the wheel and hard to reach parts.
Any recommendations and suggestions welcome. |

The next highest option is to have them coated with a high tech paint coating offered by a reputable detailer in your area.

Klasse works well and is pretty affordable. It holds up as well if not better than most high end sealants on many Independent tests. I coat my wheels and track wheels with it. All the dust rinses right off, coat about every 6-8 months.

I'm thinking of coating my wheels when I finally get some so that they stay nice for at least 3 years. The coating will be thicker than the clear coat or powder coating.

I use a layer of Chemical Guys Jet Seal on my alloys, it actually makes a pretty noticeable difference with break dust and dirt. I would recommend that to anybody.

A wheel coating is definitely going to be your best option though because depending on the coating lasts 1-2 years +. CarPro DLUX lasts about 1 year and you can buy it from CarPro and if you can find a certified detailer for professional grade like Cquartz Finest or Gyeon Mohs+ etc. they last longer. |
