What do you use to protect aluminum wheels after polishing ?
I did a job on my wheels with mother's aluminum polish. The only problem was after washing the car they had a bunch of water spots on them. What do you put on the wheels after polishing ?

Zoops Seal, it is good stuff, sort of pricey, but it is good.

I don't put a thing on them. Didn't know I was supposed to. :eek:
I do wipe the water off when I wash them.

What Brand of Hairspray works best?
I would really prefer the super holding kind myself. :lol:
Actually it sounds like a Great idea. Thanx for the heads up.
Also awhileback i had polished up a piece of stainless and was wanting to get it clearcoated. Well i soon learned that the clear would run off like water beads on a waxed car. After asking around i was told that if you take a talcum powder and rub on the polished surface it will take all the oils off of the surface and allow the clear to stick. :party:
