Refurbed Wheels
Hi All,
Just had my Ixion alloys refurbished (diamond cut) it will be about a week or so before I wash them but when can I apply a wax/sealant? the guys said after about 4 weeks but ideally I want to get some kind of protection on them asap.... Would it hurt to do them earlier? Thanks, |

Thanks all, he did say about the "gassing" so will just wash with warm water and the usual car shampoo (not using wheel cleaner anymore, I'm scared!)

When the recommended time from the refurb place has elapsed you may consider using
https://www.gtechniq.co.uk/shop/auto...-wheel-armour/ You DO need to follow the prep work instructions Quote:
and DO note the advisory on the use of "panel wipe" (again other makes will do the job as well when you follow the instructions) for so called smart "repairs",,, then it really is a case of "wash with car shampoo + rinse" for the next 2 - 2 1/2 years before needing to reapply wont do a Thing to protect against kerbing damage tho

Thanks for that informative post, I will definitely consider that, I did already buy some poor boys wheel sealant before I had them done but your method sounds much more thorough
