| Image wheels Hi, I have 18" Image halibrands. 3 piece (split rim) and the rim is polished. Today I have taken one of the back wheels off and cleaned both sides to get all the grime and road salt off. I cleaned the polished (uncoated?) rim with autosol and it has made it look great. I have now applied a wheel wax to the wheels: Turtlewax Extreme Wheel Wax 500ml from Halfords Price £6.49 but I wondered what else I can do to help protect the polished (uncoated) metal? Is it possible to get a permanent coating professionally applied for example? Thanks Paul

| Paul - if you took them apart, you could get the rims clear anodised. That is about all SFAIK.

| Image can put a coating on them, about £15 per wheel. Tinka has it done and it it looks good, completely impervious to road salt etc (I think) Just had a quick check, it's ceramic clear coat
