winter wheels need refurbed so thinking something other than plain silver.

Mine are so badly kerbed (by me, cant blame the wife) they desperately need doing. I like the darker colour above.

I’m in 2 minds. Being winter wheels a dark colour might mean low maintenance like won’t need cleaned as much. Other side of me was thinking bright colour so it’s shines like a star but that requires constant cleaning.

Not sure why but powder coated wheels seem to take less work to keep clean but then I do use Gtechnic wet coat on them. everything just runs off.

I use poorboys wheel sealant and it seems to do the job. Normally a quick clean will be enough and if it’s not too bad a blast with pressure washer will do. Got a tub of the stuff from years ago and still more than 3/4 full. Only use it when I swap wheels over between summer winter and vice versa so had lasted ages.
