Default Best protection for alloy wheels.

Just wondering what would be the best thing to protect the newly refurbished wheels on my ZTT with?

I was either thinking something like a car wax or the other thing I have seen is Autoglym Alloy Wheel Protector.

What would you advise or use?

Your Collinite 476s will work just as well on wheels as it does the rest of the car Clyde.

It's all I use on mine, and any brake dust, road film etc washes off nice and easy with normal car shampoo.

Thanks Cliff, I will give the wheels a good coating of the Colinite Wax when I get my ZTT back, I am very pleased with how the wax works on the rest of the car and I am pleased to hear it will work just as well on the wheels.

Regards

Thanks Bob, sounds like a good idea but then I would not have any Nevving to do on my ZTT.
