Use it sparingly and you can coat a complete set of wheels inside and out. Over a years worth of protection with one application. Not a sealant, but a coating.

Typically whatever you prefer for the painted surfaces of your car will be great as a solution for your wheels, but because wheels tend to get very hot (heat transfer from breaks, and just general heat from the road) something in the synthetic family will hold up better.

Our recently released Acrylic-Shield Paint Sealant is a great option - resists heat in excess of 360* and highy detergent and chemical resistant. Perfect if you use it on your paint too b/c just one less product to have to keep around.

Thru tonight (9/2) at midnight you can get it for 15% off and free shipping (we don't require a minimum) using the code WEEKEND15. If you miss the sale you can still get your 10% everyday forum discount with the code CORVETTE

After you get them all cleaned up, Zaino clear seal works pretty good to keep brake dust off until the next wash...
