I was stuck between poorboys and chemical guys as they both have good reviews on there.
Or are they more of less the same? Would like the more durable one if there is a difference.
Poorboys says apply every 1-2 weeks. Fuck that

depends on how much protection you want, i apply quite liberally once a month, i could get away with less in the summer.

I use poorboys wheel sealant.
I gave mine 4 very good coats over a day. Now everytime I wash the car which is about every 2 weeks I give them another quick coat.
Makkes it so much easier for cleaning, especially my wheels with the amount of spokes and nocks and cranies.

I use Poorboy's wheel sealant. Tend to put it on roughly every 6 months and it still works well even after that long. I hadn't done the back/insides for well over a year and all the brake dust and dirt just came off with a hose and a bit of wheel cleaner, no effort at all. Only things that were left were some chunks of tar
