Alloy Sealer/wax

[Aidan-]

Picked up my avensis 1.8 tr yesterday and goin to give my wheels abit of tlc at the weekend, normally use autoglym alloy wheel sealer but was wondering what you guys/gals use.

Autoglym SRP is what I use on my alloys. You can buy "Special" alloy wheel waxes ect! But its just a waste of money.

Gtechniq C2

Never really thought of using autoglym srp on alloy wheels how long would you get with srp or how often would you do the wheels mistermena

Have read some pretty good reviews about Gtechniq C2

If you take a look on a site called detailing World you'll see a load of people talking about the "Hype" on dedicated alloy wheel sealers and wax. But using a normal car wax/resin polish is just as good if not better. I've just done my alloys the other day, but this time I used AG HD wax. Looks really good untill the wife drove down the country lanes near to us! lol...

I do the alloys twice a year as a rule with SRP and it works a treat. The rest of the year its just the power washer and Snow Foam lance. I find it easier to take the wheels off and give a good couple of coats.

Thanks for the reply mistermena have some Autoglym HD wax gona do the wheels with it at the weekend while there still new, just done my 99 avensis with AG wheel sealer last week so it will be a good test

Nice one mate Would be good to see how they compair. My money is gonna be on the SRP for out lasting the HD wax. But the HD wax does give it a great finish

One of the best longest lasting of all waxes/sealants is High temp Finish Kare 1000p and not just the wheels, a real bargain size tin that will last for years.

Yep... That is some amazing stuff. That'll be my next buy I think. Just gotta find a deal online for it now.

Thats pretty good lookin stuff dervdave and it can cope with the temps well at 250+ degrees and to think water boils at 100 degrees

Fk 1000p is very highly thought of by car detailers here and the U.S. for good reason. :)
