    Opti-Coat, supplied by Phil was my choice. UPS dropped off new HRE's with Michelin Super Sport mounted yesterday. Got to it first thing this AM.
    Pretty clean but with the expected black rubber marks and sealant residue from mounting, no scratches, small amounts of dust from cutting of wheels in lug bolt holes.

    Adhesive cleans right up with Griots Rubber Prep

    Wipe down surface with ONR to clean and remove all black rubber marks, etc.

    Wipe down with Eraser to prep for Opti-Coat

    Final check with light before sealing, make sure you have everything looking the way you want.

    Applied Opti-Coat with Car Pro Suede Microfiber (4x4 inches) very smooth application and easy to use in small areas. Ten to a pack so used fresh one on each wheel.
