Is it safe to put this on them since they are more like a powder coating than clear coat?

Thanks for any advice.

 

hmm... i thought that they were still clear coated- let me see if i can find out for sure- while i am looking this up, someone else just might know for sure.

in any case, i cant imagine that wheel wax would be a problem- it is a very mild cleaner/protectant. you could test a very small area on one wheel and live with it for a coupla days- if it looks good, then go for the rest...

no luck with my research, so i have sent a message to the tech guys at wheel wax... they sometimes take a few days to respond, but we should get the most accurate info possible!

 

Thanks

I might try a little on the inside of the wheel.

 

I'm glad to see you post that you wax the inside of your wheels - here I thought I was the only one that did that. Seems to me that all surfaces need to be waxed/protected in one form or another.

I clean the heck out of the inside of my wheels once or twice a year and coat them good with a sealant. On the new wheels for the WRX, I cleaned and prepped them before I mounted them - a good wash, the cleaning polish with Klasse AIO, then Klasse SG and they have been soooo easy to keep clean, inside and out.

 

Any word from the guys at wheel wax? I have not put it on my wheels yet but would like to soon.

Thanks

 

o.k.- i thought something must have been wrong... good old spam filters!!
anyway, here is the preliminary response from wheelwax (very helpful, as i expected they would be):
