I have been looking for a good wheel sealant but all I see is the wolfgang and the collinite metal wax. Are these the only 2 auto geek sell? If so which one do you suggest?
 
Try PoorBoys wheel sealant it lasts longer in my opinion plus it's very easy to use. Apply with a foam pad and them wipe off, it will haze by the time you're done with the wheel.
 
There are a few of us that use Duragloss 501 over DG 601. 501 is a very durable Marine All in One (AIO) that is safe on metal or clearcoat. 601 is a Bonding Agent that improves durability by 50%. DG 105 is good too. Just my $.02. DP makes a Wheel Glaze. Im not a fan. Durability is lacking IME.
 
I have both Poorboy's World Wheel Sealant and DP Wheel Glaze and found them both to be quality products that work well.

While I don't have them in front of me I think the Poorboy's World Wheel Sealant is pink in color and a soft paste. DP Wheel Glaze is a light blue color and is a little softer in consistency than the Poorboy's World product.

I apply both using Microfiber gloves. These allow me to give each wheel a thorough coating getting into every nook and cranny....:props:
 
I use DP and like it. I top it after 24 hrs. with a coat of 845. Seems to help.
 
Dp, Poorboys, or Optiseal. All work great for me !

I agree. I use DP wheel glaze on the Z since it's a garage queen, so durability isn't of concern. For the DD maxima I use poorboys wheel sealant, I have had good luck with it.

Bobby, I 100% agree with you regarding gloves for wheel sealant application. MF gloves are also great for applying interior protectants and leather conditioners. They are a must in my application tool bag! They are on BOGO too!

Rich, IMO the 845 is doing the durability part. I bought Sonus Wheel SSealant a few weeks ago and applied to the chrome rims on the XLR after using Sonus Chrome Polish, They look great. Unfortunately AG doesnt sell Sonus. Alas the new Ford has polished aluminum 20's. The 07 had 18" chromes. The 20's are gonna be expensive when the POS PIrelli Scorpions are shot. The 07 Pirelli's lasted only 27K miles. Im a Michelin guy.
 
I may hav to check that opti seal out for paint....seems like some incredible stuf!!
 
Here's what I just posted on my favorite Mustang site.
A member was asking everyone's opinion on wheel wax or glazes.

"I got the DP since it was on a two for one special on Autogeek.

I never let my wheels get dirty anyway. I hit the wheels with quick detailer after every post drive cool down. But the DP wheel sealer is just extra protection for when the DAMN CAT from down the street PISSES on them!

I like fk1000p, just applied it to a 325i with chrome wheels, and it helps repel brake dust. Water beads right off of it.
 
Rejex. Its very durable and looks great, plus it's pretty inexpensive.

I think your right Jim, they seem to work good alone but better together. And the DP has fillers.
 
I have been using Wheel Wax on my wheels, and was wondering how comparable is the elbow grease required in some of these other products to remove after letting it haze up.

Have been thinking about trying the Poorboys wheel sealant. Do you guys feel it is easier to get off? Thanks.

I've used both and the PB is easier to remove if you let it set up too long. Wheel wax when set up too long requires you to spritz it and really rub to remove, the PB no issues for me. I apply all four wheels then remove all four wheels. People think I'm nuts pushing my stool around the car twice. Good for the entertainment value I guess.
