    Hey Andy - is it easy to use sealant and wax on the diamond cut bits of the Bellones? Does it still buff off ok?

      No difference as if applied to anywhere else on the wheel or bodywork pal. Exactly the same[emoji108]

        Wash, dry, seal then wax.

        The sealant acts as a gloss layer, while the wax will add depth and a wet-looking appearance.

        Let me know how you get on Gaz[emoji106]

          Looks good, i have still to use my power maxed wheel cleaner, used bilberry and autofinesse wheel cleaner, autofinesse is a definite winner between they two.

          I did notice but that the autofinesse says on the bottle not for use on diamond cut wheels, so wont be using it again until after i wax them.

            Are you referring to the AF Imperial Phil?

                It's non acidic so shouldn't cause too much concern. I have used this very one and even stronger cleaners on the alloys before with no problems whatsoever.

                  Yeah i was thinking that myself, wheels have a bit of corrosion on them the now but so dont want it to get worse by using something to strong for the finish.

                    Once you wax/seal them then a wash with shampoo and a mitt will suffice instead of having to use a specific wheel cleaner.
