    Protecting Anodized Aluminum

    I'm looking for a product to use on anodized aluminum (in my case, black). Something that is known not to leave any residue that can be seen and preferably a spray. So far the only thing I've found that works is Meguiar's x-Press Spray Wax. All others I've used usually leave a white residue or at least streaks in some way. Thanks!

    Re: Protecting Anodized Aluminum

    I’ve been looking around and researching matte/anodized for a while… the GYEON Quartz Q˛ Matte Ceramic Matte and Satin Finish Paint, Vinyl, and PPF Coating seems to be a good option. I’ve also heard that a regular coating shouldn’t add much gloss to matte surfaces.

    Please post if you find a good solution.

    I’ve also seen Mike P. recommend Gtechniq - C5 Wheel Armour for anodized surfaces.

    Coat it. Been there done that and helped a lot of people with it on German Rides. Dlux or Q2 TRIM both do wonders.
