Default Zoopseal on Fikse Rims

Has anyone done this to Fikse Rims? I have FM/5's and was thinking about doing it; tired of cleaning them daily and zainoing heavily on the weekends.

If you have done it, is it safe to do it on the chrome and clear coated aluminum part?

Is it safe to use the Zoops Final Seal on the whole rim afterwards as a final step?

Love the Fiske's , hate the work involved.

I have Zoop seal on my rims. They were just high polished, no clearcoat and not chromed. It makes a world of difference. To clean them I literally spray them with a hose and thats it. I wish I had more info on the actual application process but CCW did it all for me. Good luck.

Zoop Seal on my Bogarts. After one month, so far so good.

Got them pretty dirty down in Florida.. cleaned up with a rag and some instant detail.

zoopseal will not work on clearcoated or chromed wheels.. how zoop works is that it fills the pores in the metal and thus prevents oxidation. It would be like trying to oil laquered wood.. i will work on machined, bare or polished metal though.

Call them to confirm but im pretty sure about this
