hi guys and girls, i have just got a new set of wheels for my bmw as the last wheels corroded very badly, What can i use to protect them from corroding again. I have an account with a supplyer that does Muc Off so i can get it cheap, i there any stuff that they do that would be worth getting.
Thanks Reevesy

dunno about muc off but chemical guys wheel sealant seem to be highly rated and not exspensive either

Personally use FinishKare 1000P too. Good stuff and give's a lovely shine.

Are they polished??
If so only thing i know of is zoop sealent
But a good 3 layers of poorboys wheel sealent should keep them protected then just top wax up on them once a week if you can

Would once per week be required?
I use the poor boys stuff and there will be better products on sale but it serves its purpose.
Tbh I only apply sealant when I take the wheels off every two month for a good polish/clean unless its for a show
Suppose it would depend on how many miles you do etc

Finishkare 1000p without a doubt.......its suitable for all wheel finishes not just painted ones.
This stuff lasts a good few months before its necessary to re-apply.

Finish Kare Hi Temp 1000p, i use it all the time, really is good on paintwork and wheels, so easy clean and better than poorboys wheel sealent and you get a huge tin for not much more:y: i've got several coats of the 1000p on mums dark charcoal R wheels still brand new now after they were powdercoated last June, i use QD 425 Extra Slick body shine to maintain them aswell which i rate really highly!
