Wash frequently, use a good sealant on them to help make subsequent cleaning easier.



How about some pics? :chuckle:

uhg :drool:

I just picked up some poorboys wheel sealant, havent used it yet but I can only assume its amazing considering all poorboys stuff works very well.



i would avoid wiping them with anything unless they were perfectly clean, dont wipe dirt off them or scratches are gonna start to show up :sosad

I have Fikses which are also not clearcoated. I found that the wheel sealant did make them easier to clean but at the same time seemed to dull them a *slight* amount. I didn`t think that the slight dulling effect was worth the tradeoff for easier cleaning. This may not be the case with yours but it sure was with mine.

AIO/ PB WS

AIO/UPP





Just be sure to only use car wash to clean them.

Doesnt NXT metal polish have some sort of corrosion inhibitor in it?

Wow those brakes are massive.



I`d use AIO/WG. That`s what I used on my new wheels when I got them, and 2 months later they`re still extremely easy to clean.



Definitely clean them only with car wash soap though. You won`t need any wheel cleaners once you have a sealant on them anyway.
