Recently, I've posted (http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum...s/41495-old-product-new-trick.html#post545402) about using up about 1/3 of a bottle of Klasse Sealant Glaze that's been sitting on my shelf doing nothing, by diluting it to a 10% solution and spraying it on my wheels whenever I clean them.

It's working really, really well. Once the wheel is clean, I just mist the wheel and wipe it off - goes on and comes off very easily.

Yesterday, I had about a day's worth of brakedust on the wheels and decided to make a video of how they rinse right off with just water. Yes, I know this is not a baked-on, hard core buildup of brake dust. But it does demonstrate pretty well how easily the dust rinses off. I figure using up a product I likely wouldn't use anymore was better than buying something. definitely has been worth the experiement.

Once I take a longer trip will do this again with a worse buildup. The weather has just been so nice that the wheels and whole car have just been really, really clean, even though I've been driving some back windy roads in an *ahem* spirited manner....
 
good technique for up keeping well maintained wheels. should save people some effort and time.
 
That's actually pretty impressive! Great find and thanks for sharing :).
 
Great tip. That is pretty impressive. Time to break out my old bottle of Klasse SG.
 
Thanks all. It seems to be getting even better over time, which makes sense given that SG has no cleaners in it. Once the wheels are clean (I dont' even bother to dry them now), I just spray them down with the diluted SG and wipe them off. They also are shining more than I remember (but that of course could just be in my head - nothing to compare them to).

Most certainly a good use for a product that would have just sat there gathering dust otherwise.
