Hyperturismo's Wheel Wax

I mentioned in the Wheel Wax thread that I use Hyperturismo's Wheel Wax with great results, so I thought I'd take a before and after picture of one of my wheels after it's had time to get dirt on it. You can see what the wheels looked like after I polished them in the BMW120d Sport thread



This is a photo of the wheel after it's had a few days to get dirty:

And this is a photo after I've done nothing apart from wipe it with a clean towel:

20422wheel_after.jpg




The wax has been designed so that it changes the polarity of the wheel therefore not allowing anything to stick to it. I know in these photos the wheel wasn't that dirty initially, but it's just as effective if the wheels are really black with crap. If I ever let the wheels get that dirty I'll take some more photos.



I also didn't get the chance to leave the wax 24hrs before I drove anywhere. I was back on the road 2 hours after detailing my car.



Anyway, just thought I'd share my experiences with you all. I'll get hold of Joe and see if he'll be willing to send a few bottles to the US if anybody wants to try it?

PS - I'm not affiliated to Hyperturismo in anyway, I just happen to know the guy who runs the company and he gave me a bottle to evaluate.
 
Looks good .. one comment tho .. you will get the same results on a wheel as on paint when wiping it with a cloth when dirty .. hazing and maring .. and abrassion of the protectant reducing its life. It just doesn't show as much on the solver wheel .

I know it is and it shouldn't be done that often. It was more an indication of how easy the crap is to remove, even without water. I guess what I was trying to say was with this wax you don't need a dedicated wheel cleaner - a wash solution with a mitt will be sufficient.



It's also pretty handy if you're going to a show etc, you can just wipe the wheels with a towel and they come up like new again.

If your friend is able to send some over for testing, could you also ask how a product can change the polarity of a wheel? I'm curious. This is the second product I've read this about and I can't figure out how it's done.



Thanks.

Wheel Wax makes the same claim.



I don't have a problem with brake dust sticking as long as I keep the wheels sealed. Doesn't matter what sealant I use they all make clean up a breeze. Some last longer than others. My current favorite is polish with Mothers Clear Coat Wheel Polish and top with Collinite Insulator Wax.

I am still trying to think how this works, are there any links.

Nope not yet - all I can say is it seems to work! Can send you a sample if you want Lowe?

Thanks for the kind offer. I also meant to say that the wheels look great.



What I cannot grasp is how a wax or any other applied product can change the polarity of a wheel and why would a wheel have a polarity in the first place.



This is not to question the product but more for my understanding

Its pretty simple. Each container of Wheel Wax is passed between 2 flux capacitors, below the equator, then shipped for use above the equator . When applied to the wheel in a circular motion, pointing toward the front of the car, it reverses polarity in a forward motion. The main drawback is that when you back up, the wheels polarity is reversed, causing them to attract dust.

The secret tip to preventing this, is to sychronize the polarity of your intake ball bearings at the same time you change the wheel polarity.

Nothing sticks to Wheel Wax because it makes the surface slick. I can get the same results from any quality sealant. I think this polarity thing is a gimmick like the teflon thing that some products claim to have in them. If Wheel Wax really does change the polarity of the wheel why not make a wax that can do that for the whole car.

Apparently HTR Wheel Wax is great for use on paint as well as on wheels - although I haven't tried this yet.

Here is a specially trained operator in their secret lair, changing the waxes polarity, one container at a time.....

I used wheel sealant by PB and after 5 days i went to clean my wheels and the dirts just wiped off with a wet rag. So that seems to sell me on it's potential, especially with the weather we have been having.

I get the same results with SG, UPP, Megs #20, Collinite Insulator Wax, Collinite 476s, and so on.



This whole concept of a wheel sealant is a joke. How are they different than a regular sealant other than name. I think I will make a sealant and call it passenger door sealant. If it goes over well I can make a whole line of sealants for every part of the car. I could have a hood sealant and a trunk sealant and maybe even a roof sealant.:rolleyes:
