Cheaper alternative than liquid glass

[Sleestak]

I need a drop and a large can is $38. Blah

Any other ideas for wheel hubs after novus 2 polish?

Using oil not graphite.

Mequires quick wax, lucas slick mist, rejex, turtle wax black ice. You're looking for a synthetic product to act as a sealant.

Make sure the synthetic wax is both hydrophobic (repels water) and oleophobic (repels oil), as I have seen they almost always indicate that they are hydrophobic, but only a few state that they are also oleophobic.

Thanks much!

Do you know of a specific brand that is oleophobic? This way I just look for this.

Red Rocket has worked well for us. Lasts forever using on derby cars.

Yes, RR works well also.

Some treatment products I've seen recommended market no claims about their oleophobic ("oil-phobic") properties, despite likely having some. For those of us still inexperienced with liquid lubes, is there a layman's test to indicate if a hydrophobic product is also oleophobic? (For example, coating a piece of plate glass or clear acrylic and seeing if an oily substance will bead vs. cling?) As new or improved commercial products come along, it would be nice to have an obvious way to check before using it on the wheels...

I don't have a test, but I do have all the products I listed above in my toolbox. I was told by someone faster than I am that the derby oil blends act more like water than oil.

Some kind of test would be great, but I don't know that any has definitively shown a correlation between beading behavior and speed. I usually just follow the advice of what the fast guys say works.

Get your car aligned first. Alignment is everything. Afterward, you can concentrate on the Wheels and Bores. Rejex is smokin' fast. Is it faster than the other products? I did many statistical comparisons in the past and it is hard to differentiate between the polishes with a forgiving Pro Car. Pick one and go with it.
