While looking for good sealants for aluminum, Steve at True Forged Wheels did a little research and found that sealant company Zoopseal is no longer in business. Zoopseal was the sealant of choice for those trying to protect the finish on the polished bare metal parts of their cars.
He talked to the former owner and found out that they started a new business called "Shine Seal" ShineSeal.com ::: Protect Your Products :::
They sent me a kit so I could try it and give my feedback.
Here's my use and review on my True Forged Polished Victories.
Here's what I received.
The Master Kit comes with the following. Brite Shine Metal Polish, Shine Seal Bio Cleaner, Shine Seal Metal Sealer, and Slick Finish.
I first polished my wheel with Brite Shine Metal Polish.
Once the wheel is polished, you use 1 oz of Bio Cleaner w/ 16oz of water.
Once mixed with water, I used a spray bottle and sprayed it on the wheel.
Then I used a clean "Lint Free" cloth to wipe it off to prepare the surface for the sealer.
Next up comes the Metal Sealer. I used a clean cloth to apply it and let it dry. The Metal Sealer goes on kind of like Rain-X does on glass.
Then I wiped it off with a clean microfiber towel.
The final step was to use the Slick Finish. (It is kind of like a wax to protect and shine after the Sealer)
I applied it with a clean microfiber and removed it with another clean microfiber.
Here are the results. Protected wheels that feel "Slick" to the touch and feel a lot less porous.
As you can see, the sealer does not affect the shine. :coolman:
Hope this helps some of you looking for a good wheel sealant for Aluminum wheels. (Although it works on ALUMINUM, STAINLESS STEEL, BRASS, AND COPPER)
