Did 50/50's on my Chevy Truck on This past Friday and 200 miles later they both show a difference on the protected and unprotected parts but none better than the other BOOO... They Both rinsed off well with the pressure washer but now I'm thinking I removed the protection OOOOPS
We use DP Glaze as well and results are also the same ... Anyone have a secret potion that resists brake dust better than the above?
I lean more towards DP as it tends to polish out chrome rims and protect them at the same time where as the others would require an additional step for dirtier rims

Cquartz is my goto rim protectant. Lasts a long time and clean up is a breeze.

Opti-Coat.


:iagree:


I also feel that UTTG protects wheels much better than UPGP. And it will hold up to chemicals used on wheels rather nicely.

I've had good luck with UPGP on rims.

Here's a few pics of my rims after about 1200 miles on UPGP.

I've used DP wheel glaze and dislike it very much. I've also used Coli 476 with not much liking. I like a product that is quick to apply every other month or so.

Ultima Trim & Tire Guard for most rims. You can apply UTTG to the rim and a month later using amazing roll off to scrub the tires with some getting on the rim it still won't strip it from the rim!

Cquartz and Optimum Opti Coat obviously work very well for this just cost more. For really intricate rims go with Cquartz out of these two options.
