Seat Leon wheel clean and seal.

**butler2.8i** · 24-04-2009,03:42 AM

Decided to clean and seal the wheels and dress the arches on my GF new seat leon. Car had about 7k on the clock when she picked it up about 2 weeks ago so knew they wouldn`t be to bad on the inside.
Started by by jacking car up and putting axle stands under the car so i could be working with 2 wheels at a time.

Inside of wheels not to bad so sprayed with meg`s wheel brightener and scrubbed with various brushes.

This cleaned most crap off but did leave some areas which needed claying, so used sonus ultra fine clay and meg`s last touch. This was the clay after each wheel.

Once i was happy with the wheel i put the first coat of chemical guys jet seal 109 on and moved onto the next wheel which would give time for the first coat to bond.

Second wheel done with same process then left for 109 to bond whilst first wheel was buffed and second coat applied. Whilst giving coats time to bond i sprayed meg`s super degreser into the wheel arches and srubbed with various brushes before rincing with the pressure washer. Arches were then dressed with meg`s hyper dressing, which i think leaves a nice finish and smell bloody lush.

Some pic`s of the wheels after having 2 coats of 109 applied.

Centre caps also received 2 coats

And one for the beading fans out there :thumb:

Promise me you'll never use that jack for that sort of thing again, please!

They don't call it the widowmaker for nothing.

Hi Sam, the jack was only used to raise the car to allow me to put the axle stands underneath as seen in the photo`s.

Hi

A clay bar can be used pretty much anywhere on an exterior surface. Its a great tool for removing imbedded contaminants and the wheels will have plenty of these!

A clay bar should also be used on your exterior glass too.

A slightly used clay bar is ideal for cleaning wheels, it is not always necessary to use a brand new fresh bar for wheels. However, for paint work and glass its important to make sure its as fresh as possible.

There is a guide here for claying by the way: Clay a Car Guide

As elitedetailer says clay has many use`s and even though it was a low mielage car the contaminants that where on there wouldn`t have come off with just the meg`s wheel cleaner.
