Good morning all,

I have a nice set of polished wheels and would like to put something on them to keep them looking nice as long as possible.

I was planning to put a good coat of wax on them.

Suggestions?


Thanks,

Remove, package and ship to me.  You can sleep well knowing they will be well taken care of?  2funny

A good coat of wax will help. But, you will have to stay on top of them. Especially the back.


But.....the bigger question is did Bill and I shame you when we were in the Roanoke bar talking about your pipes ?  Grin

this is the best I've ever used on my polished wheels and other aluminum parts.  usually has to be reapplied once/year. prevents any oxidation and dirt will not stick to it. can also be used on paint.

Powder coat!!!  But that's more $$ and effort.  On the other hand - just wipe to clean, or use some Honda cleaner/wax - they stay nice all the time!
