Has anyone used Poorboy's World Wheel Sealant on uncoated aluminum? Or should I save and get the DP Wheel Glaze? Or maybe get something else? "Wheel Wax"?

I just want to protect the refinished wheels on my car and they are uncoated aluminum.

I use it on my aluminum delivery pipe in the engine bay and it works great (even with the high temperatures). Apply two or three coats and you will find that the aluminum will not dull for at least a couple months. Make sure you prep them well because that is what will be protected behind PB's.

I use the PB wheel sealant on 24" RV wheels and it works just fine. It doesn't add any looks, so prep properly and then enjoy the results for 2-3 months rather than 2-3 weeks.

Thanks, sounds good! I'll prep with a good polish and coat it with the PB. What should I do for cleaning though? I'm thinking P21S. Or will pressure washing it be fine?

Which has me asking. Will the pressure washing take it off? Or will I be good with pressure washing the wheels with the 3 coats of PB for the few months?

I wash my car about every other week.

Nice VW Corrado. The Audi wheels look great. The DP Wheel Glaze & the Poorboys Wheel Sealant will work great on Polished Aluminum wheels.
