are these rims sealed after they are polished from CCW?? or are they prone to damage, from salt, salt mist, water, etc?

Thanks Specifically 505A's 19's.....

 

Mine arn't just polished raw aluminum! But they are the "tack only" wheels so mybe it isn't even a option?

 

I read that they are high polished, but are they protected from the "outside" forces....

 

To the TOP!

 

Unless they are clearcoated or something, the polish is prone to oxidation like any other forged billet wheel.

 

Damn, looks like I got to get them clearcoated then....probably dull them out some....

 

ask john to Zoop-seal them when you order

 

no theyre not clearcoated.

 

I wouldn't advise using anything else but a good coat of wax. The luster will change, the aluminum will oxide still, and you will be left over time with a dull looking rim that you can't easily polish.

Unless your driving in a harsh environment i.e. snow, salt etc, it shouldn't be more work then polishing them once a month...It's no more work then washing or waxing your car.

 

K, I got some mothers aluminum polish, shoud I stay away from using that, I'll probably just put a good coat of zaino on them

 

Mothers polish (or other brand name products) is recommended to clean off the oxidation from the material. Most work equally well. Polishing will keep the rims looking shiny and new and is a necessary step done in varying intervals according to air quality conditions, usage etc. Just remember when you polish your rims; you remove all wax/sealers so reapplication will be necessary.

I see guys state that cleaning aluminum is a pain in the butt…though I don’t see it much different then keeping your painted surfaces clean and shiny also. Polished aluminum has a very classy refined appearance.

Good luck with your rims.

I agree.

 

CCW can clean up VERY VERY nicely even if they get F**ked up or dirty.
