Poorboy's Wheel Sealant: A Review

[crazexr7]

Wanted to write a small review on this wheel sealant I used called Poorboy's Wheel Sealant. I put it on in mid April with an applicator pad, and added 4 coats. Since my wheels are uncoated polished aluminum the guys at poorboy's recommended that I apply it on and wipe it off directly after I finished applying it over the whole wheel. If I had a painted wheel, I'd have to let it haze. Not the case with polished wheels.

Any ways I put 4 coats on in mid April and washed the car once a week from then on. Today it's been over a month and a half since then and my wheels look as good as they did in April. I use a microfiber to clean my wheels with soap and water, and most of the brake dust washes right off as soon as I pour water on them. Here are some pics...

Over all, the wheel sealant has saved me from polishing my wheels every week like I did last year. Poorboy's has advised me that the sealant has protection up to 4-6 months, but I really want my wheels to be polished up more than what they're at now... So I might polish them up again in the next week or so...

I say this product is very awesome and will last a long time, epecially for those running certain wheels for the summer season

awesome, I've been looking for something that actually works... Where did you order this?

It really is great stuff. I've been using it for about eight years now, going back to when I was detailing a lot of cars. For individual use, a tub will last you a long, long time. Technology has rendered this a bit, "old school," but while I ponder which coating to buy, I still smile at the results from PBWS.

I don't believe Detailer's Domain carries the brand, but you can buy direct from Poorboy's World, Autogeek, and a number of other resellers.

I ordered mine from amazon but you can also order from auto geek for around the same price

I am definitely sold on the product. I'm probably going to try some of their other stuff as well.

So what does DetailerDomain have that's comparable if not better? I like to support our vendors when ever possible especially since Philip usually takes care of the discount anyway.
