Anyone here have experience with them?want the longest possible protection for my wheels.
Currently looking at Chemical Guys Wheel Guard & Collinite 845 Liquid Insulator.
Both seem to get very good reviews but swaying more towards the Collinite because it could also be used on the cars body panels like any other sealant.

I put poorboys on mine (pink stuff) and it's great. Put 3 coats on in the summer and it still appears to be on there. Makes cleaning very easy.
I've also used the chemical guys stuff (which I think is orange) and that was also a decent product.

Poorboys gets my vote, 3 coats can get a bit tedious but it works wonders, and having white wheels it's worth the effort lol

Only thing that puts me off the Poorboys is the durability which is 2-3months.

If you want a proper sealant. Then have a look for "slickrims". Made by the people that make the waxybox. Brilliant sealant and last
Either that try gtech c5 wheel armor. Both d them will last you atleast a year.

This, Nothing else. Apply once, don't touch for another year at least. Theres a reason its so expensive for so little, but will easily do inside and out of 5 wheels.
Everything else you'll end up re-applying.

C5 for me now. Drys clear and lasts ages.
Used poor boys for 2 years on my Astras wheels and I wasn't best impressed. Always left a residue which on black wheels would eventually start appearing about a month later and it didn't last long.
Now just use it on the mrs hubcaps.

Only problem with the c5 stuff is that it is clear liquid and think it would be a nightmare to apply to silver wheels not been able to see where it already been applied too.

It isn't hard to see atall mate. C5 is the one to go for when it comes to durability
However slick rims is a new product and from the pre release reviews it's lasting very well!
Think it's abit cheaper and you get abit more of it aswell
That said c5 even though it's only a tiny tiny bottle. As above can do a set of 5 wheels and still have stuff left
