Has anyone tried using Klasse SG to protect their TE rims? I tried using Klasse AIO yesterday and didn't like the results at all - found it made the rims looks rather matte instead of shiny.

Perhaps SG would work? Any other ideas to protect the wheels and make them easier to clean?

 

AIO is just a cleaner for the most part. Now put the SG on them and see the results. Just remember that if you use a checmical cleaner on your rims like Eagle 1 A2Z that it will take all that off each time. Once you use the SG, just use regular car wash soap to clean your rims. Then reapply the SG monthly.

 

Is it necessary to lay down a coat of AIO before applying the SG? I'd actually just prefer to put SG on by itself. I only did one wheel with AIO and removed it with a claybar since I didn't like the results.

 

Personally, I would have clayed the rim first and then applied AIO and SG. I did that on the stock SE rims on the '02 and had no problems with them looking dull at all. I only applied one coat of SG.

 

Perhaps it's the fact that mine are TE rims. Different finish.

 

Turtle Wax Car polish works. A person who had really shiny TE wheels said it worked perfectly.
