Im sick of keep polishing the dish on my wheels to find in a week they are dull again

has anyone tried the poorboys alloy wheel sealant and does it really work? or is there any alternative products?

Thanks

I highly recommend mothers billet. I've been through a few and this one seems best so far!!

Are your wheels lacquered? They make one for each.

it will provide some protection from brake dust etc. it is in effect a tough sealant for wheels.

have look at the reviews on the detailing world forum

I've used Mother's billet, and to be honest i'd recommend Meguiars NXT generation Metal polish over that all day long. Mother's billet is for wheels that are in near perfect condition, and won't recover the shine to a wheels that's dulled slightly.

Meguiars is easier to use and I've found it protects better aswell.

I've tried many different products on my polished Borbet T's, and Meguirs is at the top of the list for me if you're looking to use just a single item.
