Wizards Power Seal seems to be the least
abrasive of the Wizards metal polishes we tried, including
Wizards Metal Polish (wadding)
and Wizards Metal Renew.
A treatment of Power Seal after polishing the
Ducati GT1000's chrome wheels to a mirror shine left a sort of "plasticky"
feeling on the metal, and we're hoping that this will protect the wheels
throughout the winter months. Many GT1000 owners have complained of
premature corrosion and thin chrome plating, so Wizards Power Seal may be
the answer.
If you really want to get down and dirty, each
spoke could be treated individually, but that seems like way too much work,
especially when products like
Spiffy Spokes are
available (!).
After the metal has been
treated with the other Wizards metal polishes, it's
usually pretty clean; thus, Power Seal is easy to apply
and to remove.
Conclusion:
When used as directed with Wizards Metal Polish and
Wizards Metal Renew, most metal surfaces develop a
glossy surface finish. A coating of Wizards Power
Seal does seem to add a barrier that can help further
corrosion, but the wheels will still get dirty and will
need to be cleaned occasionally.
Score: 5 out of 5 when used with Wizards Shine Master
