protects about the same, but wheel sealant goes on an off so much easier.

Can't speak for the Poorboy, but the wheel wax is a pain to get off if you let it dry to long (i.e. more than 10 - 15 minutes)

I've always been a fan of Poorboy's, never had a "bad" product from them, or something I'd never use again.
I would like to try the stuff myself. Let us know if you use it. |

I ordered some of the Poorboy's last week, it should be here on Friday. I'll try to remember to put my impressions in this thread

I've tried Wheel wax and I agree, its a pain to remove. Especially when you have BBS wheels. I also tried Rejex and it seems like the heat generated from the brakes made it not last long?
I dont really drive the car often and it doesn't really endure the wet conditions that Seattle has to offer anymore, therefore I can't come up with any other reason why the rejex didn't last. Although the Rejex does work wonders on the car. Never used a different wax ever since, a few coats will last for almost a year. WebMaster, where did you order your Poorboys sealant from? I tried looking for a reseller locally but no luck. I think I may try this sealant on my new wheels. Last edited by Buntas; 04-08-2008 at 01:50 PM. |

Use the poorboys, I just went through this same thing. I bought some new DP wheel glaze to try on my new rims. Its grape smelling and delicious, however it is a total PITA to get off and is not as silky smooth as the Poorboys. I've tried a couple others and I keep finding myself going back to the poorboys stuff
I did the first two wheels in the DP, and then got so tired of polishing it off that I switched back to the poorboys. I'll probably go back and do all 4 with another coat of poorboys... -Smells delicious -Easy to take off -leaves a very smooth finish -Holds up well If you need some, just order it off their web page |

I just use NuFinish on wheels. Its cheap, lasts, and is easy to apply and remove.

FYI, I polished and used the Poorboy's World sealant on one side of my car. I'll take a picture after a couple weeks of driving then try washing the wheels off with just a hose. However, I can already tell it's working well after just one day of driving in the rain.
The wheels look a little more glossy as well. |
