    Glossit Wheel gel ?? An

    Has anyone tried or heard of Glossit wheel gel?
    @glossit.
    The reason I ask is after seeing this picture, my curiosity is through roof.
    I have tried Mothers, Meguires and countless others and the results where nothing like pic attached .



    Here is a pic of my wheel after 20 mins with a polisher and some Mothers. Is there any products someone could suggest to really bring out the aluminum wheels. ? Thx. John

    I never heard of such product but what I would do is take wash each wheel with sonax full effect then clay to a slick feel then I would use a product called noxon to polish the wheel then to top it off use a sealent of choice or snice you put so much work in put a coating like opti-coat good luck

    John,

    Are these "bare" aluminum wheels?

    I've never heard of this Noxon product for use on vehicles' wheels.

    Becareful as most OEM aluminum wheels are coated and thus must be treated as paint. They are often called High Polished or Bright versus chrome.

    Those are chrome wheels. They clean up easy with soap and water. That picture really doesn't show anything to me.

    The wheels shown at top are the optional 20" aluminum wheels same as my wheel in the second picture. If that waa achrome wheel i wouldn't have been curios? I dont think these wheels are plastic coated. Thx.

    The first pic isn't even close to the same wheel as the second picture you posted?
    I can't think of any factory equipped wheel that isn't clear coated aluminum.

    I apologize. The second pic is factory 22" on my Ford F150. The top pic is optional 20" Lariat wheel. Im not saying they are not plastic coated.. All i know is if you happen to curb rash them a guy at Ford dealership will have them rubbed out and back to new in a hour or less.. This leads me to believe they are not coated.
    Im going to try it out and let everyone know.
