Fixin to get some detailing in before winter sleepy time for the Shelbys.

Anyone ever use this on wheels? Open to suggestions before I start applying. I’d like to use some stuff that’s gonna make cleaning much easier.

My best advice is reach out to Scott (@NastyGT500) or Mike (@Merlinii). I'm sure the Seal & Shine is decent based on the reviews on Amazon, but I'm also sure there are better choices. Scott or Mike should be able to direct you to solid recommendations.

Side note, why does half of SVTP seem to live in Florida?!

You won't go wrong with advice from Scott (@NastyGT500) or Mike (@Merlinii). Both are masters of their trade.

FWIW, I recommend going with a quality ceramic coating or at least a sealant, rather than wax. All will make the wheels look good. Ease of cleaning and durability are best with ceramic, followed by sealant. Wax is a distant third place.

Politics, taxes, and driving weather, I suspect.

I used G Techniq ceramic coating for wheels when I bought my last set of new wheels. It comes in a tiny bottle , not in a spray bottle. I applied it maybe 3 years ago and it still is holding up. Granted I only put about 500 miles on it a year, but it is stored in a carport attached to my house. Not in a garage.
I'd definitely recommend doing the front and back. Makes clean up a breeze.

Gtechniq - C5 Wheel Armour - Long Term Protection for Wheels and Rims (1-2 Years), Repels Brake Dust and Contaminants, Safe on Brake Calipers, Withstands Temperatures up to 1112F (30 milliliters) https://a.co/d/7X1VG4L

The jealousy is consuming me.

I'm totally tundra ghetto, so.

$170 for roughly 3-5 years protection.

I think I can live with that.

I'm not saying it doesn't provide enhanced protection and make cleaning easier. Don't doubt it a bit. I know the value of good car care products. Just some sticker shock comment from a cheap ass - me.

I’m with you lol. I’d prefer to just use this Turtle wax seal and shine and call it a day. I just don’t want to have to do this over and over and over.
