Ultimate protection for wheels

Car and motorbike wheels need something special to protect them from the harsh environment of rain, sunlight, dirt, abrasives and brake dust. Now, Smartwax® has introduced RIMWAX™ which is especially designed to offer extra protection and extreme shine for all wheels.

Brake dust is particularly harmful to alloy wheels and can get burnt into the surface, causing unsightly pitting which is costly to have removed. Because it is formulated with non-stick technology and anti-static barriers, RIMWAX can reduce harmful brake dust deposits by up to 75 per cent. It is also engineered to deflect road contaminates and abrasives and to accelerate water run off, while providing protection from ultra-violet rays.

RIMWAX is straightforward to use and restores the original finish while adding gloss and depth of shine plus protection in one easy application. It can be used on wet or dry surfaces and in direct sunlight yet does not smear or leave a powdery residue. RIMWAX prevents water spots, hides small swirl marks and lasts a long time.

Smartwax® cleaners and polishes were developed in the USA and have been available in the UK since June 2006. They are the latest generation of professional grade products available for DIY use on cars, motorbikes and boats. Unlike some other products on the market, the Smartwax range meets the USA Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) standard so they will not damage car paintwork, the user’s health or the environment.

Ian Wilkinson managing director of Smartwax UK, said: “Protecting expensive alloy wheels make sense and will add value to your car or motorbike. RIMWAX gives excellent protection and a deep shine yet is easy to use – the hallmarks of a well engineered product.”

Among the many fans of the Smartwax range include such Hollywood legends as Sylvester Stallone, Ludacris, Chris Rock and Mark Wahlberg. They all insist on Smartwax products when their cars are specially cleaned and polished. Smartwax cleaners and polishes are also featured and used in the popular TV series, Pimp My Ride.

Smartwax products are available from good car accessory shops.

Notes

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has introduced National Volatile Organic Compound Emission Standards for Automobile Refinish Coatings. These detail maximum grams per litre of Volatile Organic Compound content in different categories of Automobile Refinish Coatings.

VOCs are defined differently under European law and the British coatings industry has a scheme which labels products minimal, low, medium, high, and very high for their VOC content.

Smartwax products are available for review purposes.
