clean, protect and store diamond cut wheels....

[Jai]

well the summer's been a bit poo, so i figure time to put the diamond cut alloys away for the autumn and winter, but.....how to clean them down properly, the powdercoat on the backside is easy enough, but the face is a bit more problematic.....also anything out there to put on the surface to keep it nice?

cheers

wash them down with some some wheel cleaner such as bilberry, clay them (old clay pref), polish (AG SRP), then go down either Finish Kare FK1000p (Serious Performance sell it 23 quid delivered) or Chmical Guys Jetseal 109 forgot the cost though....

Are they bare or clearcoated?

I wouldn't touch them with bilberry or similar, see if shampoo will do the job first...

 

[Jai]

ooo, they are totally bare, bloke at refurbers said that he could clearcoat, but would look **** a lot quicker when it starts to lift/peel/bubble etc which it would do

A good clean and a light spray of WD40 will probably keep them mint over the winter?
