Sealing diamond cut wheels

OSI

So as some of you no doubt saw in the other forum, some absolute knob jockey has knicked the center caps out of my alloys. To make matters worse, after a closer inspection I've noticed they were also hamfisted troglodytes that went at the alloys with a screwdriver to get at the center caps. They have left marks on all 4 wheels and at least one of them appears to have been chipped past the lacquer.




Having had diamond cut alloys on my previous car, I'm all too familiar with the damage this is liable to lead to with white worm if I can't get it sealed again, so I'm wondering if anyone here can suggest any products I can use to either re-seal the wheel or at least provide some protection?

Without getting the wheels refurbished I would be putting on a Nano/Ceramic coating such as CarPro DLux or Gtechniq's Wheel Armour.

As mentioned above, they'd be the better sealants on the market, but Im not sure if they'll sufficiently seal the chip....perhaps if you were to dab the product onto the area, to ensure the product gets into all uneven surfaces, and later two or three layers in that small area to ensure its fully coated.

Perhaps a bit of laquer to seal the area. Nail Polish laquer even just to get the spot covered.

Sorry... but sealants or waxes will be of no use. There's no magic dust sealant on the market that will stop that horrible whiteworm corrosion. Sealants will help keep the wheels stay clean (or at least make them easier to clean) but they'll do nothing for this.

If the lacquer is broken, moisture will eventually get in underneath. Your best bet is actually as per above - try dabbing a little clear lacquer on the spots in question. If you go into the dealers and ask them for a paint touch up kit it'll come in a pack with 2 bottles - one paint, the other lacquer. Use that!

Unfortunately as mentioned no sealant will make any difference if the lacquer is broken. Absolute toe rags.

I mean that's absolutely disgusting behaviour.

2 of my alloys are damaged and I've only used chemical guys wheel guard and collinite 845 to seal them and whiteworm isn't anywhere on either of them.

I'll be getting them refurbed at some stage after which I'll be applying Gtechniq crystal serum and EXO.
