    After 3 coats of Poorboy's Wheel Sealant and Meguiars Shine on the tyres.The wheel definately has a slippery feel to it and a bit more shine. I was going to have them polished, but I don't think so now.

    These wheels are still in good condition after 6 years, and no kerbing!

    Looking good mate, the bonus now comes when you go to wash the brake dust off the wheel next time and it just hoses off. A coat every third wash or so is all I do to keep them looking good.

    Wow! Great shine to it! Wheel Wax doesn't offer that kind of shine to it. You say it's 6 years old but that's as good as new to me.

    Thanks for the compliments....This style wheel was not the one I wanted. I'd ordered a Caravelle wheel, but this arrived. When I saw the quality and felt the light weight I couldn't resist it. The finish is superb!

    Í've got two more new spares, which I'll have to wax.

    Unfortunately I won't have time to do all 4 before our show day Sunday

    I've done both cars now. I saw a UK post where the guy clayed the wheels before applying the wheel wax. The clay helped to get rid of the brake dust stains on the inside.

    The clear coat surface was super smooth too - as you would expect.

    I used poorboys wheel wax BTW. Great product.
