DP Wheel Glaze?

**courtdale** · 10-13-2011, 11:39 AM

Per my other post, I have a new set of BMW rims that I love and want to protect them the best I can from all of that evil german brake dust. I know Opti-Coat was the hands down favorite suggested, but can DP's Wheel glaze serve as an effictive (albeit more temporary) substitute?? I ask because I am a total slave to roll backs and BOGO's

.

That is a product that would suit my immidiate needs (also need a tire product), but that won't stop me from addressing a "want" as well. So the 2nd question is - If you had to pick just one DP product for your arsenal, what would it be?? I'm inexperienced with their line so suggest away.

The DP Wheel Glaze is effective for about two weeks tops. I like it but I am going to try Prima Wheel Armour next. Someone posted some pics of their rims protected with this stuff. I've never seen rims bead like that before.

I don't know what the paint is like on those wheels...if it's good in the barrels then you can get by with a sealant. If it's just "fogged" in there, like some of my wheels, then the brake dust is going to eat thru the sealant and paint and etch the aluminum.

did you see the post about using ksg diluted @ 10:1?

I have the wheel glaze but usually just reach for the 845

I will second the 845. I have a jar of the DP wheel glaze but do not use it anymore. PM me and I will send you a sample if you want to try it.

I was going to test 915 on a spot on my rim to see if it would work.

I'll check that out when I get home. Sounds like if that is the case, it might benefit from a light spray of Wurth's CCoat in the well?

If you are looking for short term: Armor All Wheel Protectant is quite effective...usually last 2-4 weeks depending on how much rain, etc... And can just be sprayed right on.

It is very effective on BMW wheels...which are the kings of collecting break dust...

I dont like this product either. You guys didnt add that it is a PITA too.

I have some and will send it to you if you just pay shipping of perhaps want to trade. But honestly, I am not fond of it at all. You would be better off with something like 845 or UTTG for your wheels.
