I have been putting OptiSeal on my wheels for a while now. I always wonder if the wheels getting hot from driving will render the protection useless anyway? What do you guys put on your wheels and what`s your thought on temperature?

I`ve been using UPGP+ and it works great. A quick spray down at the coin op gets rid of most, if not all, of the brake dust.

Oh yeah, also started using it this summer and I haven`t noticed any problems with durability.

I use Collinite 476s, seems to hold up well and after a wash I go over them with some CG pro detailer.

I use DG 501. Wheels don`t get as hot as a black hood in the summer. I don`t think there`s an issue.

+1. This has been discussed a few times before, and unless you are road-coursing your car and the rotors are glowing, a dark hood/fenders in the summer sun with a hot engine underneath is going to be hotter than your wheels.

I`ve used Wheel Amour, but I`m not convinced that it makes next wash clean-up any easier.
I enjoy using it to initially clean the wheels - it applies and buffs off like a polish, but cleans very well and leaves a nice glossy finish behind. Protection doesn`t seem good enough to call it "Amrour" though. Not sure 100% though

FK 1000P works extremely good on wheels as well.

I used Poorboys Wheel Sealant and it was a total bust. Now I use NXT 2.0 and it is better but still no great shakes on wheels. Wasn`t happy with 476s as well, so maybe my expectations are too high.

I use Opti Seal and know for a fact the wheels are easier to clean and stay cleaner.:up
