how to wax/protect textured wheels

[ThrillBilly]

i just picked up a SUV (montero sport) that has "textured" wheels.



they have broad fairly flat-faced surfaces that have a dimpled textured finish, kinda like a rough bead-blasted finish.



they are in good condition with little b-dust, and seem to be pretty easy (much to my suprise) to clean, but i dont have a clue how to apply a protective coat of wax to the finish. it would eat a MF or any type to towel with even minimal rubbing.



it seems to me that the only way to effectively apply anything would be with a some type of spray. any attempt to buff would only result in the high surfaces being touched, without removing anything on the lower surfaces.



any ideas? TIA

I'd use something very user-friendly like AIO, working it with a soft brush if necessary. Remove it with a towel that you won't mind destroying, something plush enough to get into the texture. Then apply a durable, "no-white-residue" wax (like Collinite Insulator) the same way.



While they might be easy to clean NOW, you'd better get some protection on them. With that texture, you don't want any crap building up on them.
