  • Zoop seal or Mothers polish for new rims?

    What do you people use on your Polished aluminum rims? I'm getting either TT2 rims or Junkyard dog rims in a week or two and need to know what works best. Zoop seal is extremly expensive but if it works like Zaino does on my car then it maybe worth it?

    Let me know what works best.

    I've heard that if you clean them very well and get them real shiney that Zoop sealing them lasts a couple of months and keeps them looking great but I don't have any personal experience.

      Well one thing is for sure..... I also need to replace the brake pads with something that doesn't leave so much dust. Any ideas on upgrades let me know.

        ceramic pads are supposed to create less dust and don't squeak

          Whats everyone else use on there polished rims? What about cleaning them. If I use a concentrated wheel cleaner it may break down the zoop seal anyway?

            I would try Meguires Hot Rims Spray. Works great on aluminum wheels. Just plain amazing.

              if you are going to get polished wheels the best advice i can offer is polishing them up REAL nice right off the bat and then sealing it with a good 2-3 layers of clear coat. granted you will lose a bit of luster, youll never be polishing again.

                  Zoop seal is about $130 last time I checked so if it comes down to it that's as expensive as I will go. No way am I going to spray clear coat on polished rims. WMCCjames are those polished or chrome rims? They look killer. What are they? and size?

                      They are polished like Gary said. They are 18x8's front and 18x10's rear. Thanks for the compliment!

                        Look's like I'm going with Zoop I've heard good things about it. Along with the new wheels and zaino I will have a brand new looking ride. Pics in a week or two.

                          Lots of elbow grease and regular Mothers followed up by an easy coat of Mothers Billit. My wheels are 6 years old and never looked better
