FAQs

How often should I reapply Poorboys Wheel Sealant?

Reapplication is typically recommended every few months, depending on driving conditions and how frequently the wheels are washed. You'll notice the water beading effect diminishing when it's time to reapply.

Can I use this on my motorcycle wheels?

Yes, Poorboys Wheel Sealant is safe for most motorcycle wheel finishes, including chrome, painted, and polished aluminum, providing excellent protection.

Is this product safe for clear-coated wheels?

Absolutely. The sealant is safe for all finishes, including clear coats, lacquer, and Imry, offering protection without damaging the underlying finish.

How long does the protection typically last?

Under normal driving conditions and with regular washing, the protection can last for several months. However, aggressive cleaning or extreme weather may reduce its lifespan.

Do I need to use a special cleaner with this sealant?

No, you can use your regular pH-neutral wheel cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can shorten the sealant's life.

Can I apply this sealant over existing wax or sealant?

It is best to apply Poorboys Wheel Sealant to a clean, bare surface for maximum adhesion and durability. Remove any old protection layers before application.

Troubleshooting

Sealant appears streaky or uneven after buffing

This can happen if the sealant was applied too thickly or not allowed to haze sufficiently before buffing. Ensure a thin, even coat is applied and buff off gently with a clean microfiber towel. If streaking persists, re-wash the wheel and reapply a thinner coat.

Wheels are still difficult to clean after application

Verify that the wheels were properly cleaned and prepped before sealant application. Ensure the sealant was allowed to cure adequately and wasn't wiped off too soon. Reapplication after a thorough cleaning might be necessary.

Sealant does not seem to be repelling water effectively

The sealant may have diminished over time due to environmental factors or cleaning methods. It's time to reapply a fresh coat following the application instructions.
