After sealant

[Bigdaddy67]

Hello everyone. Quick question. I clay, cleaner wax, polished then finished wish Wolfgang sealant on my white f250. I also polished then put the sealant on my chrome wheels. Well go figure it has rained every other day in the Nashville area. My question is, what do you guys recommend I clean with after the rain stops? I figured a good wash on the truck itself, but the wheels have gotten pretty nasty, so if I need something that will break down all the dust, mud, and water spots without messing up the wolf gang sealant I put on my wheels. Is that possible? Or should I just seal again? Also it's been couple weeks since I did all this, I was thinking about collinite on the truck and wheels after I clean this time. Would you guys do that or just use the Wolfgang sealant on it all again? Or maybe something different? thks in advance

Just a simple wash w/ there 2BM would do. For your wheels, same soap as you'd use on the paint, using a separate wash mitt should do the trick. The sealant should've remained in tact. It's up to you if you want to add another layer of protection w/ the wax. May not be necessary though.

Then just follow up your wash in the days after w/ a waterless wash like UWW+.

I agree with AC. I have Wolfgang Sealant on my wheels and I live on a dirt road. They are a breeze to clean with soap and water. Daytona brushes are handy as well.

Daytona brushes? I have never herd of them. I have moto metal for most part pretty east too get to, but there is few places very hard to get too. Any tricks on removing wax and or sealant from those hard to get to places? Thks

Yep...don't apply it there in the first place. :D I know that sounds like I'm a smart aleck, but it's a lesson I keep learning too, and I've been doing this a while now. For a real answer, though....a nylon detailing brush is perfect for this kind of stuff. FWIW, I trim mine on an angle, so I have a combination of soft bristles on the long end, and firm ones on the short side. Makes wax residue cleanup a breeze.

Another FWIW - you'll notice that the paint sealant won't be super durable on the wheels. You may want to consider something like Poorboys Wheel Sealant, or at least a more "pure" paint sealant like Blackfire WD or Four Star UPP.

This is what he was talking about, if you haven't already looked them up: Daytona Speed Master Wheel Brush, auto detail brush, Wheel Brush, Tire Brush, Detailing Brush, Corvette brush, Mercedes brush, sport wheel brush, (http://www.autogeek.net/auto-wheel-brush.html). Great tools for the taks at hand.

There is another type that are getting positve reviews. I have the Daytonas, but not these Wheel Woolies: Wheel Woolies Car Detailing Brushes (http://www.autogeek.net/wheel-woolies-detailing-tools.html).

You can also look into smaller brushes like Vroom mentioned. Lug nut brushes like these: Lug Nut Brush Trio, wheel lug nut brushes, detail brushes (http://www.autogeek.net/lug-nut-brushes.html) or finger pockets for product application: Wolfgang Finger Pockets <i>are soft, dense foam pockets that fit over your fingers for easy and efficient cleaning.
