polished aluminum wheels without clear coat

[silverado469]

Whats up guys, new here and just got some 18x10 raceline renegade 6's for my truck and just want some tips on keeping them clean.

 

I just ordered the metal polish #2, buttery wax, and quick sealant for them and had a question. After i apply the metal polish #2, would it be ok to use the buttery wax and then the quick sealant, or just use the quick sealant?

When i do my ride or wheels its either or, not both unless I'm going to be in the car show, etc.

If you have any Americana you can use that instead of the buttery.

Also, if you plan on using both, sealant before wax.

 

Nice truck, and welcome to the boards!

On wheels theres very little benefit (if any) to using wax in addition to sealant.

 

The heat will break it down quickly... you're better off just doubling up on your sealant applications and saving the wax for your paint IMO

take some of your MP1&MP2 to the FH, and look at what it does to those wheels..

haha i was actually thinking the same thing when i bought it. we got a 2008 Pierce Velocity tower ladder back in 08 and the wheels are starting to look dull so i might put some on and see what it does
