Poor Boys World Wheel Sealant, coating question

I cleaned my summer rims today in preparation to get them back on next week sometime. I used the P21s wheel gel and cleaned them well, then I went to work on the sealant.

I put the first coat on and then waited ~5 mins to dry and then wiped clean with a microfiber cloth. Waited ~5 mins and repeated and did this for 3 total coats.

My question is, did I wait long enough between coats or should I put another coat on tomorrow and then another the next day? I think I waited long enough..they are SHINY and looking good and are slick when passing a towel along them. Hoping the stuff works well for keeping these things clean! Brake dust FTL...lol

That's about all it takes for PB Wheel Wax, it's a quick process. You did fine.

Don't expect miracles with brake dust, though it does make routine cleanup easier.

That's about the time I let it set during my semi-annual wheel-off cleanings. During the rest of the year it's so much easier to clean up.

But if you got nothing better to do, . . .

I love Poorboys Wheel Sealant. I just use 2 coats of it twice a year. It should eliminate brake dust by 50%. I swear by this stuff!

Its nice weather and takes 5 minutes....I'll do one more coat.....LOL

Besides, I need something to do during halftime of the NCAA games.

Thanks for the feedback guys...cant wait to get these rims on although Im glad I waited a few extra days...possible 6-12" of snow coming tomorrow but that should all be melted by Monday-Tuesday.
