good wheel dressing, and what kind of application?

[RonTL]

I got some eagle one a2z tire and wheel cleaner and some eagle one tire dressing. What should i get for wheels? from wal-mart or autozone.



And im going to be using the 1z polishes. What kind of application should i use. I have a craftsman $20 polisher and i have a black magic hang application thing, you can put bonnets on it just like the polisher. Which one should i use and what bonnet should i use for polish application. Would terry be fine?

I assume that you are talking about dressing the wheels themselves and not the tires. If you are looking at getting something to put on the wheels from a place like Auto zone, something like Mother`s carnauba would at least do something. If you order from the internet, some Klasse would look real nice.

You might be able to get some Mothers Clear Coat Wheel Polish locally but I`ve never seen it in Wal Mart. You need to go to a car parts store that has an extensive line of Mothers products

Didn`t know you could put wax on wheels, but then again, i just started detailing.

[RonTL]

now if I use a wax or sealant like klasse, then how would i put it on? Just like you do on the paint?

[imported_perry]

Yep, just like paint! That`s assuming, of course, that your wheels are clearcoated like paint.



A carnuba won`t last all that long because of the heat from the brakes. Your best bet will be a synthetic.



I wouldn`t put any bets on the sealant or wax lasting through an A2Z cleaning.



Use a foam bonnet on your power buffer for the polish. It`s not as good as a PC, but if you work slowly you`ll be able to make better progress than by hand.

thanks for all the reply`s. Now how do i know if the wheels are clear coat? and would chrome be the same, i have the never dull metal stuff, should i use that first, or just use it for tailpipes, and chrome bumpers and stuff, and after i use the nevel dull on the bumpers, should i put wax on it too?

im guessing u have an acura tl from your name, so im positive that all tl`s made have clear coated wheels.. but if they are chrome (aftermarket?) the sg should be safe on them as well... but i would rather use chrome polish, which have some protectants in them (mothers, 1z)



dont use that never dull stuff on chrome... id only used it on alloys, or regular metal/polished
