Aftercare for Mirror Polished Components
Ever wondered how to keep that polished metal looking good all year round? Tired of running 2 sets of wheels per year, one for summer and one for winter? This is the easiest and most effective way of looking after polished metal, we have tried and tested.
Just had your alloy wheels mirror polished? First of all you want to give them a good polish by hand with a metal polish that you can work with well. ( This removes all the excess compound and metal dust). Once you’re happy with them, you want to seal them using a good sealent. Jetseal 109 by Chemical guys and Poor boys wheel sealent are both good products for the job.
How to apply wheel sealent? (poorboys used)
With poorboys wheel sealent we found best results by applying the sealent sparingly with a soft cloth across the wheel, let it mature for 20 mins and then buff it off with a clean soft cloth. Again a second layer is applied, this time this is left over night, so roughly 12 hours, before it is buffed off using a soft clean cloth. The third layer is then applied, and left for 20 mins, before being buffed off. On the final application, the cloth should be slipping off the wheel, then you know, they have sealed well.
Jetseal 109 however can be applied and wiped off pretty much straight after and this will seal the wheels, it’s incredibly durable and so easy to use, we recommend applying the sealent every 2 to 3 months. You can buy your Jetseal here :
Maintaining Polished Alloy
After testing many different methods of maintaining the finish, for wheels and items which are exposed to the weather, it is recommended to keep a dry clean micro fibre cloth in the car. Each time you finish with the vehicle for the day, then wipe the wheel down with the cloth to remove any dust from the wheels. If the wheels are wet, dry them when you get an opportunity ( on a dry day ( if we’re lucky) ). Wiping all four wheels should take roughly 2 mins for all 4. Which I’m sure you will agree is not along time in a 24 hr day.
This time you put in dusting down, or drying the wheels saves time later as you will not have to use metal polish on them very often this way, as the wheels always stay clean. You will also not have to wash the wheels, which is another bonus. Water on the polished surface over time, makes them misty, which calls for some metal polish. So if you can keep them dry, no need to polish them.
If water must be used for washing the wheels, then use a normal car shampoo, do not use any acidic wheel cleaners, if you are unsure about a particular wheel cleaner, then don’t use it.
Avoid having the wheels or car washed at a general car wash.
With our test running polished wheels for 12 months, by following the above process we only needed to use metal polish on them once every 3 months.
If you stick to the advice above you will only need to polish your wheels occasionally to bring back the shine.
The best product to work with is the product that suits you best, each person works differently and have certain preferences that they are looking for, from a product.
For a good shine Peek metal polish, Meguairs metal polish, and Mothers metal polish are all good products. If the metal seems to have lost a lot of shine and has a lot of stubborn marks on it, then the best product to remove the marks we tested is Brasso Wadding, then to get the shine back, we would recommend Alu Magic. Alu Magic is a great product which we have been using for many years. Get a bottle of it yourself and tell us what you think.
Please remember when you are polishing, you’re polishing metal and not lacquer, so polish with some force behind it, and buff off like you would when polishing your shoes. Hope this has been helpful.

Andy contacted us with his virtually miny Porsche 928 winter wheels that he was running on VW lupo, supercharged i might add. The wheels were virtually spotless on arrival and were in a silver powder coat finish. Andy wanted to take the car in another direction this show season for Ultimate dubs 2010, with its new paint job and retrim, the wheels needed to be polished to work with the new fresh paint.
The wheels were stripped, the kerbing was then removed and then the wheels were polished to a mirror finish, all in time before the show, so Andy could get his car inside the Telford International Centre.

We recently had a very enthusiastic customer appear from Southampton, he wanted his M3 to look different, so went out and bought a set of wheels with the craziest dish we have seen. They are similar to the Khan design wheel. After running them for a while, being a perfectionist, he wanted something else, so decided to drive the wheels over to us one morning, and leave them with us for a week. The wheel faces and dishes were to be fully polished with out stripping the paint. They were in good condition when they arrived so this made our job a little easier. I just fell in love with the wheels when i saw those dishes, and once they were finished, well i’ll let you decide from the pictures.
Some of you might remember the Green Mk1 TDi golf from ultimate dubs, that we blogged a few weeks back. We have been working with the owner Greg Howell for some time now, on a number of a projects, one specifically that you may recognise, his stunning Mk4 volkswagen golf 20v on Air ride. Greg is a perfectionist, as many will know from his work at Southam Bodies, and because he has a passion for doing things immaculately, he wished for the lips on his BBS LM wheels to be flawless. I’m sure everybody realised immediately that the car that Greg was working on was sure to be a show winner.
Greg wanted his lips polished along with the Ross inlet manifold and rocker cover, to the highest standard possible. This is where Pureklas came into it, Gregbeing handy with tools handed pureklas the wheels already split, he wanted a touch of class to his wheels, he needed somewhere that he could trust and rely on. So he came to us, we polished the dishes on the wheels, as you can see below, and did a lot of polishing on the engine. Including the stainless pieces, and the Ross inlet manifold and rocker cover. Once we had finished with the car, it looked amazing, why don’t you see for yourself from the pictures below. As we expected the car went on to win a numerous of shows, it won more trophies than Man United! It was also featured in a variety of magazines, before Greg decided to sell it to begin a new project.

We would just like to thank everyone who took the time out to enter the competition for the wheel refurbishment or the polished audi wheels. The winner has now been picked and will be notified shortly, so keep an eye on those emails and that phone ; )
Recently had a customer with a beautiful Mercedes CLK convertible arrive, it was the first time I had seen a clk look looking like this. It was black, with a japanese spec deep skirts and bumpers on it and some huge deep dish wheels. The plan was to refurbish the dishes on the wheels as the lacquer had gone bad and milky. The lacquer was stripped so the dishes were back to bare alloy, they were then polished to a pureklas finish.

This particular set of wheels had its dishes refurbished and polished by ourselves previously, the wheels had now changed hands and the new owner decided to just run them as they were through all weathers, and with the snow and pot holes we had, it wasn’t the ideal wheel to be running in such conditions. These were fitted using adpaters to Volkswagen Golf Mk4 but would originally be seen on the Porsche 911.
They had also met a pot hole head on which bent one of the dishes right back. This how they arrived:
The agreement was to split the wheels down, repair the lips, polish them back to show standard, leave the centres as they were and rebuild the wheels. Well, as with alot of split rims, this does tend to change a little, so the wheels were split, which was some job, as all the fastening nuts on the rear were totally rusted. Once split, the bent dishes were repaired and mirror polished, but the centre seemed to let them down now, so we decided to get some alloy cleaner on the centres and wash them, and followed this with a layer of carnuba wax, leaving the centres looking alot tidier than before. New rust proof zinc coated nuts were then ordered in, and wheels rebuilt and sealed.
