Wow never thought of clear bra on rims. Wounder if you could clear bra them to avoid curb marks.. can anyone chime in? Whats the best way to keep polished black lips (rims) clean?

One of the strongest forms of protection I have ever used is the Poorboy's World Wheel Sealant. One thin coating will provide durable protection that helps repel road grime and it makes future cleanings much easier.

If you want a product that cleans and protects in one step try the Chemical Guys Metal Wax. It has great cleaning power and will also protect the wheels really well.

i echo the sentiments of using the Poorboys Wheel Sealant, which you can get for a really cheap price from Greg @ DI. if you read the reviews on his site of this product, all 22 people (currently) have given positive feedback, which must mean the product is as good as advertised. i personally used this on chrome rims, but it is supposed to be good on all surfaces. try it and you will not be disappointed

Im on the same boat. Ive had my VS-XX lip polished by the boys at RB. Every couple of carwashes, i put on Meguiars. Now, do i spray on the Poorboy sealant sprayed on? And will the rim look less shiny?

the poorboys wheel sealant is not a spray. you have to apply it with a wax applicator and buff off after letting it haze on your rims. this process actually added some depth to the the shine of my rims - but this was on chrome rims.

thanks varcity. I looked at reviews, and the Poorboy probably is a safer bet than Chemical Guys
