Just curious if anyone has used this Wheel polish before? And if they liked it?  | |

It's great for removing embedded brake dust and light scratches from coated wheels, and removing yellowing (oxidation) of the clear coat, but the product is not overly aggressive.

Would a nice coat of Mothers Carnauba on top of the CCWP be an asset or would it basically be duplication.
TIA

rd | excellent question, I was just wondering myself if that Mother's polish would last longer and look better topped with a pure wax.

But, if you want to, go right ahead..... | |

How many coats of CCWP to get the optimum shine and depth?

It doesn't really sound like it from the description (website): Quote: |
Clear-coated wheels will dull with time-the surface is a clear coat, which is just like paint. You polish and wax the rest of the paint on your car, right? Give your clear-coated and painted wheels the same respect with Mothers® Clear Coat Wheel Polish. Designed specifically for wheel coatings, it will remove minor scratches and blemishes and polish out all the little imperfections. Your wheels will sparkle just as bright as your paint-give them some Mothers®' love with Clear Coat Wheel Polish.

Is there a reason not to? | |

Join Date: May 2001 Posts: 771 | It's not for paint - the plasticized urethane on wheels is different than body paint.
It leaves behind a polymer coating much like our Chrome Polish does. That said, don't confuse it with a synthetic polymer for paint - they're 2 different types of coatings (the carriers for the polish - to remove imperfections - are polymer based, so they leave a "finish" behind. It's not the same as a polymer based product for paint protection, where the polymer is FOR the protection versus being the carrier). | |
