View Full Version : Don't just clean wheels, PREVENT future brake dust, also!

during my last (and only so far) detail, I had the guy clean the wheels (he used Sonax) and gave him a jar of PoorBoys' wheel sealant that I had and asked him to put it on AFTER he got the wheels clean...

It has been about 4k miles since then, and i took a look at the wheels while i was quick detailing the exterior of the car:

One thing I noticed - since using the Sonax and putting PoorBoys' wheel sealant on, a lot LESS brake dust is on the wheels, compared to before, and just wiped off REALLY easy with just a wet rag/quick detailer! Not baked on like before :) so yeah, if you clean wheels, PROTECT that clean finish with some type of wax/sealant, and PREVENT future brake dust from sticking.

You sold me on it. I'm going to add it to the detailing stuff order that I'm going to be making in September.

This is what it looks like :) PINK!
you need VERY little per wheel, so, although it seems kinda pricey, remember you can use it many many times:

I take it the zhpmafia code doesn't work on a sale?

We don't have a code for Detailed Image. You're probably thinking of Detailer's Domain (where we get 10% off).

I don't know how I missed this thread.

I purchased a jar about a year and a half ago. I'm still working on it. I put 3 coats on my wheels over a week period and it will last a year. I've been in love with this and been telling everyone about it
