sealant on wheels
hey all,
I seal my wheels with opti-seal and usually clean with just optimum car wash. But recently got some chemical guys diablo gel wheel cleaner. Will the diablo strip the opti-seal? Do I have to reapply opti-seal every time I use diablo? that would be a major pain. thanks in advance to the experts.

If you use anything more than the typical carwash soap to clean your wheels then you will need to reapply the sealant/wax to the wheels afterward.
Wheel wax & sealant is only meant to aid in ease of cleaning the wheels and keeping the harsher elements from embedding into the finish. Wheels are going to endure the most abuse with regard to the elements. |

Thanks for the answer. I suspected that was the case. I find putting sealant on my 19's a pita. I wash my car at least every other week so I think I'll forgo the sealant and just use the diablo + agitate with brushes during my normal washes.
