"Stuff" to seal / protect wheels;

[Novexx]

I've got a set of diamond cut / grey inset (Audi) wheels that aren't the easiest to clean, brake dust & dirt getting ingrained & becoming stubborn pretty quickly. The car is new to me & the wheels are otherwise imacculate, although I gues that they could have been refurbed or that the clear coat was iffy to start with.

What can I put on the wheels after a good clean / polish that doesn't involve rocket science & might ease cleaning?


Thanks.

Depending on how far you want to go in terms of seal a basic ceramic coat will help hugely.
Something like this is fairly cheap and successful https://www.mycarcleaning.co.uk/collections/wheel-...

I recently had similar thoughts with regards to protecting a brand new set. GTechnic Wheel Armour is what I went with.

Good review here touching on ease of application etc

Applied Sep 2021 to my wheels. Still beads up nicely and very easy to clean.

I have used Gyeon Rim to good effect, i have tried wax-type protectors and they are a waste of effort.

my weekest link is the clear coat itself on diamond cut wheels, so fragile and no protectorant will improve that. powder coat next time they are reconditioned!

You really want to use a ceramic coating for this task. Carpro DLUX, Gyeon Rim, Gtechniq C5 are well rated, Carpro is what I have on all my wheels.

I use 303 Graphene nano coating on the car and wheels. It's easy to use (apply with microfibre pad and buff off) and I find t makes the wheels easy to clean.

I used carbon collective platinum wheels on my alloys when they are freshly refurbed and I am very happy so far

My new to me 2016 Cayman GTS has had its wheels repainted by Porsche a few days before I collected it. They are finished in matt black and look good.

Do all these wheel protector finishes have a gloss appearance after application?

If so, obviously spoils the matt appearance which I would prefer to keep looking as new a spossible..

I have used some G Technic C5 wheel Amour. Easy to apply. Leaves a faint satin sheen (which is fine by me) but lets see how long it lasts. Box says 2 years, but cant see it lasting that long as you use so little.
