    Hey All,

    Wondering what you recommend for wheel coating/protection. I have aftermarket wheels now an want to keep the finish from long term corrosion an finish breakdown. Here's the deal at one time I was a clean car fanatic. However at this point in my life I just don't make the time to wash and wax an clean and scrub my vehicles all the time anymore. So my goal is to find a product that will last a while between cleanings..Alot has changed in the detailing world it seems. So many products an names I've never heard of before. It's hard to sift through the BS.. So recommendations on current products please and thank you.

    I bought some of that stuff. Used it once. Then I ran into @Pudge and @War Machine and they showed me the way.

    Really easy to apply to either trim or wheels. Just follow the instructions.

    CarPro Dlux is available on most detailing supply websites like autogeek, detailed image, and so on. About the same cost of $40 but maybe a deal will pop up.

    I have two sets of wheels and tires for the two seasons we experience here in Georgia, this has helped keep my alloy wheels looking great for many years.

    Not to poke fun but you guys have 2 seasons in Georgia? Is it Hot and less hot? Lol .. I sold off my stock wheels, I couldn't bring myself to swapping tiny tires on for winter here. Plus my tires are probably better in snow then most all season.. But definitely will need protection from road salt around here..

    We do experience all 4 seasons, but it seems like Summer & Winter are the 2 seasons we experience most - February this year.

    CQuartz Dlux would be my number one, with MCKees Wheel sealant number two.
