Default protecting white wheels

Ive got some white wheels to go on the car eventually. While they are off the car and spick and span i want to treat them while they are nice and clean.

What do you recommend to protect the paintwork??

Wazza get a clay bar and clay the wheels... Then polish them... And finally I use this stuff to seal my wheels and it's top stuff for about a tenner.

Poor boys wheel sealant.

do you need to do anytihng else to the wheels other than put that stuff on them mat?

does it do the whole wheel or do you just stick it on the outside of the spokes and leave the insides to get manky?

Dojj just do the inside of the wheels and the outside but on spokes like mine I applied with a cloth over my finger so I could get right into the spokes so all the wheels is protected... And poor boys is all you need mate.

prefer an M16 to be honest mate. a 9mm is just as effective at killing people close up as a desert eagle too.

I use Jetseal 109 in all my details, really easy to use and once wheels are protected they cay be washed with just a shampoo mix just the same as the car.
