    Alloy wheels

    I'd like some feedback on a product to protect the alloy wheels on an 09 Acura.
    Thanks

    Re: Alloy wheels

    Everyone will give you an opinionated answer, but the key is maintaining it. For cleaning, you will obviously need a wheel cleaner. Then, you will need the right tools and brushes to get into the lug nuts, spokes, and behind the actual wheel (Daytona Wheel Brush). After washing, you can use a wheel sealant such as DP Wheel sealant (I have this personally). You do not have to use the wheel sealant weekly or anything, so you can use a detail spray to maintain the finish. The key is maintaining, and as long as you do this.... your wheels will glimmer for years to come. Hope that helps.

    I've found Duragloss 501 and Aqua Wax to be longer lasting than any wheel sealant on the market.
