Alloy wheel shields, any good?

[Elite Detailer]

Thanks Elite Detailer. The Nanolex shown is a 50 ml bottle, is one bottle sufficient for all 4 wheels?

The spare wheel is not as good as the others so will always be kept as the spare, hence 4 wheels not 5.

Hi

Yes, should get 4 sets of wheels out of it.

Regards

Have used something similar on previous cars. Worked very well. No obvious probs with brakes getting hot but I am very gentle on the brakes. They were german TUV approved. I think called Kleen wheel discs or something similar

Is that Nanolex really that good? I seal my wheels with Klasse paint sealant. Works pretty good. Would this be any better?

Hi Ian

Yes, it is the best. It's been tested against various other products and it came out top.

The Klasse is ok too, when you've finish your sealant, you may want to try out the Nanolex.

I know that this is an old thread, but JKeith in your post #1 you mention Mountney wheel shields for £10 a pair. Where did you find them?
I'm looking for some to fit to my car. I've used them very satisfactorily for many years on previous cars, and now find that Mountney discontinued making then some time ago (ugh!).

Special car cleaning products make me smile sometimes.

Bilberry wheel cleaner is a non acid cleaner sold for £10 per litre to be diluted 1:10.

It's probably a caustic and/or alkali cleaner, which can be bought from any cleaning suppliers for £5 for 5 litres in a more concentrate form.

Anyone got a material safety data sheet for Bilberry?

Welcome.

This is an old thread, and jkeith hasn't been here since last May...so you might not get an answer from him.

Never used to have all this dust problem with drum brakes

You are correct it is alkaline (pH of 13). Can't find an MSDS (I'll keep searching).
