PoorBoys PB-WS08 Wheel Sealant 8oz, 236ml

Product Information

As well as providing great protection against brake dust and contamination, a wheel sealant also makes cleaning your wheels easier. Depending upon the dirt, it can be simply cleared using a car pressure washer and without agitation.

Now the wheels are sealed is it still safe to use imperial on them or will this strip the sealant? so should they just be cleaned with a shampoo? Poorboy’s World Wheel Sealant will literally seal the surface of the alloy wheels to offer outstanding protection. In my opinion, this is the best wheel protectant available. The Chemical Guys Max Coat is a high quality wheel sealant that repels brake dust, road grime and tough dirt that tend to cling to wheels. This type of dirt is a known cause of corrosion to diamond cut and polished wheels. Poorboy’s Wheel Sealant applies a clear barrier against dirt\, brake dust\, tar\, bugs\, water\, and anything else that impacts your wheels. Because these contaminants are unable to penetrate this barrier\, pitting and corrosion are prevented and your wheels remain clear and shiny.I would test out varying dilution ratios of Imperial. I might try 1 part Imperial to 10 parts water. This should be really quite weak and at a pH that won't strip or rapidly degrade the sealant. I am using it at 1 part Imperial to 3 parts water, but that is for more neglected wheels. This would most likely degrade the sealant, although I don't work with Poorboy's Wheel Sealant anymore and use 22PLE Rim & Metal Coat, so this is just an informed guess. A really nice set of photos there and a well written post. I really like the silver callipers. When my alloys get refurbed next month the callipers are coming off to for powdercoating. Another popular formula is the Dirtbusters Wheel Wax, which is designed to protect and add shine to your wheels. It’s suitable for all wheel types and seals them against contamination after just a single application. Firstly cleaned using Auto finesse Imperial diluted 1:3, I used a combination of wheel woollies, small valet pro brush and a microfiber to get them nice and clean. In the same way that waxes are beneficial to paint, regular application of wheel wax will protect those precious alloy rims while giving it a sleek shine!

By far one of the most expensive wheel sealants (per ml) in this article is the Gtechniq C5 Armour, which is designed for maximum protection. The formula makes use of fine surface rheology and chemical bonding to produce an ultra durable barrier that provides up to 2 years of protection. The key to getting the most from a wheel sealant is to properly prepare the surface beforehand so the sealant can bond effectively. This means taking a bit of extra time to ensure that the alloy is decontaminated. Whilst products from the likes of Swissvax can seem (and are) expensive, they actually last a long time. You’re getting a lot for your money and when broken down in terms of cost per application, actually works out decent value. What is a wheel wax? Poorboy’s Wheel Sealant is a protective sealant that improves and maintains the appearance of your wheels. It applies a clear barrier against dirt, brake dust, tar, bugs, water, and anything else that impacts your wheels. Because these contaminants are unable to penetrate this barrier, pitting and corrosion are prevented and your wheels remain clear and shiny.

The RimWax provides the best wheel wax for shine and still provides great protection. However, it is fairly pricey considering both the Poorboy’s World and Chemical Guys alternative is far cheaper. Many of the wheel waxes can be layered for additional longevity of the product. The Poorboys World wheel sealant even recommend that you do this to increase the durability of the product. Most wheel waxes can last approximately 6 months but many premium examples can last far longer. Conclusion

A wheel wax is a wax designed to clean and protect the wheels on your vehicle. The wheels are among the dirtiest and filthiest part of your vehicle. It requires regular cleaning to easily remove accumulated brake dust and road grime with minimal effort. Not all of them are made the same, so I’ve tested a variety of wheel waxes to come up with a winner. The Swissvax Autobahn might be costlier than the other products I tested, but you get your money’s worth in terms of shine, protection, and ease of application. It’s important to note that the brand only recommend using this sealant on silver, white or other light coloured wheels. Poorboy’s World is a fairly niche detailing brand that produce a wide variety of products. Their wheel sealant is one of their best products and completely seals out contamination, which allows your wheel to remain protected. As we are detailing enthusiasts, we have tried and tested a variety of wheel sealants. Therefore, from our own experience and basing the recommendations upon a number of factors, we were able to produce a list of the best rated wheel sealants. In terms of the factors that we considered, they included the sealant’s type, durability/protection length, finish, ease of application and value for money. ConclusionOverall, it is the one of the best wheel sealant products that completely seals your wheels against any contamination and makes cleaning your wheels much easier. Essentially, Poorboys World Wheel Sealant will give you long lasting protection for your alloy wheels! However, there’s a slight problem. The Swissvax Autobahn Wheel Wax is pricier than other products I’ve tested, which is why I have placed it at 4th on my list. It is simply too expensive for most people.

By far the most rated and popular wheel sealant on the market is by the PoorBoy’s brand. It’s suitable for all types of wheels (aluminium, coated, chrome or painted) and provides superior protection against brake dust and contamination. Specialist sealants can keep your alloy wheels cleaner for longer, reducing the amount of washing you need to do. We have been using this product for many years and highly recommend this wheel wax for all-round protection. You can see that it is protecting the wheel due to the amount of water beading on the wheels are spraying them with water.

Conclusion

The PoorBoy’s formula is the best wheel sealant on the market that also offers great value for the money. For the best results, we recommend using separate microfibre cloths to wipe on and wipe off the sealant. If you care about your alloy wheels and want them to look great, the simple answer is ‘Yes’. However, as with most aspects of vehicle detailing there are many other options available. Protecting your wheels has to be one of the key reasons for using any wheel wax or sealant, others being visual enhancement & ease of cleaning in the future. This wheel sealant from Poorboys (PB) is easy to apply (using a foam applicator), it’s simple to see what parts have been covered (due to its bright pink colour), it buffs off well and produces a wonderful shine & smells great. For best results a do a full clean/clay/polish, then finish using the sealant.
