So i tried out the shine seal product. CCW and memory fab both recommend it so i figured it was worth a try. It is supposed to seal raw aluminum for 2 years from oxidation and corrosion. It was a bit of work, but i have a bit of money invested in the polishing so i figured it was worth it. Besides, the wheels had been of the car for a while so i wasn't in any rush.
I cleaned the wheels with the provided cleaner. Then i applied the sealer and let it dry. Then I applied the slick finish to bring the wheels back to a shine. The wheels feel really smooth since the sealer bonds in the pores.



There are a lot of extra difficulties working on my car in SF streets and living on the 3rd floor. Lots of walking down the stairs, then down the block, walking to my other car, dragging a floor jack 2 blocks, then running upstairs because i forgot tools. I also cant leave stuff scattered because i am afraid of people stealing my stuff so i have to pack all my stuff into my car if i walk up into my room. In the end I was happy finally getting my wheels back on.
Then it was time for a mandatory photo shoot
