Wheel Protection

I will be removing my wheels soon to change the Brake Pad.

While doing so, I figured to clean and protect my wheels while they are off the car. I have read a bunch of post and not sure what I should use to protect the wheels and make cleaning them easier.

Help.

Thanks

Nothing will hold up long term besides a ceremic coating look into cquartz uk

X2 on the cquartz, did a iron x spray to remove impurities and applied cquartz, looks brand new and super easy to keep clean.

I did mine in cquartz last weekend. Just make sure your wheels are perfectly clean before you apply it. The job was pretty simple. Then moving forward all you have to do is use Reload every few months to keep them slick.

I should’ve done this months ago!
