    Gtechniq C5

    I've used this on 2 different cars now and a lot of people swear by it

    once sealed you don't need no nasty acid to clean just some nice soft wheel brushes and soap and water

    i removed my wheels and done the back also as you can see the inner rim and also done the brake cal as well as mine is painted

    Gtechniq C5 is what I used and swear by it

    if your wheels are 20" or more and your going to remove the wheels and do the brake cal your need the bigger bottle if smaller wheel your be fine the the std size

    I've used Platinum wheels by carbon collective pretty good stuff makes jet washing a breeze. lookout for curing time before you can wash or use the car after if it rains

    you wont regret it

    Been using Gtechniq C5 for years now. I swear by it. I always take the wheels off and coat the complete inner rim as well.

    It lasts a lot longer than they say it does.

    On my BMW X3 xDrive 30d MSport, I coated my Winter wheels. After 3 years I sold them and the coating appeared to be working the same as the day I put it on.

    Gtechniq products are very good. Another company to have a look at is Car Chem, based in Nottingham.

    Something like this might fit the bill:

    Paint Sealants & Coatings | Detailing & Valeting Products

    Good Luck.
