    Re: This is what I have to deal with when it rains....

    Other than a hard coating a quality sealant is preferred over wax because it's more durable and allows the wheel to simply be washed with ordinary soap and water.

    For the best results wash, clay, and polish the wheel's finish prior to applying the sealant. This will removes dirt, debris, and other contaminates including oxidation.

    Once properly prepped, apply a coat of Ultima Paint Guard Plus.

    Ultima Paint Guard Plus
    is a clear sealant that goes on easily and dries clear, no powdery residue. Allow the sealant to dry / cure for 1 hour then apply a second coat to improve its effectiveness...

    Thanks Bobby!!! That was pretty much going to be my process but I was undecided on sealant. I have looked at the UPGP and probably choose that for use with other vehicles!

    The only problem is the clear is peeling. At some point I am going to powder coat them. Once that goes down they will get the OC.
