Hey peeps, i got my 17'' spiders powder coated in anthracite. Before i put them on the car id like to ''seal'' them to give them a decent bit of protection. what method/ cleaning products would you recommened?

any help appreciated

cheers

Dan

Jetseal 109 for me. Highly recommended. Great duration and easy to apply

very good reviews on that product to m8. can be used on the paintwork too . may have to get me some. cheers

I wouldn't recommend something that wasn't good now would I?

Yes, doubles as a paint sealant too, although I just use it on wheels.

Wardy's spot on here, if your looking for a cheaper alternative and more in volume of the product then look for FK1000P and Collinite 476s......

how long does that jetseal stuff last for? i currently use poorboys black hole and poorboys nutty wax (summit like tht lol) would this jetseal stuff work well with it. im a complete noob sorry :L

cheers

It's extremely resilient. I used it on my alloys when I put them on in October and they're still protected now.

You could incorporate it into what you're using now, as an extra stage.

Top advice!. Cheers mate ordering some now

I never use wax on alloys..It can attract brake dust

I use Wolfs Brake Duster as the cleaner

Follow that with Poorboys EX-P sealer and a coat of Optimum Opti-Seal when cured

Best combination I've used!!

JetSeal isn't a wax though Chris, it's a sealant.

Or did you just mean that as a general comment?

Think he was referring to my suggestions......... :(

I don't agree however and depends on the wax you apply....... :yes:

Ahh OK, with you.

I think our opinions have differed on this before

I have two coats of Jetseal on mine, and a layer of 476 on top of that. Haven't noticed any extra dust on the wheels as a result, and they're as easy to hose down as ever.

As a point for the OP: Dan, when they are sealed make sure you then just use a normal shampoo solution to clean the wheels. I've known people carry on using strong wheel cleaners/degreasers/APCs after sealing - which will just break down the protection you have built up

As recommended by Mr B I used FK1000P when i did my alloys in black back in Feb/March.

I think/assume it helped protect them.

They looked super shiny when i applied it and still kind of look shiny when I clean them.

Which given is normally weeks or sometimes months between washes is testiment enough i think.

Besides i've found brake dust sticks to absolutely everything anyways!

i use carlack 68 to clean and seal, then a coat of colly 476.

Yes, that's fine.

Come back to this section of the forum when your AG stuff runs out though
