Default how to detailing pro-drive wheels

I was trying to detail the wheels from prodrive but then it seems like they don;t have the slick clearcoated surface like the OEM wheels have.

I tired to put AIO on them then use wheel wax on them but seems like the AIO dries out and it's hard to tell if they have been completed removed and it's hard to clean also since they dried out. I applied the AIO to the wheel , after i finish it then i start to clean it.

Any input would be great

thanks

Also should i put glaze on the wheel or just AIO then wax is cool ?

I believe that wheel wax and AIO has cleaners in them. So applying them on each other would be pointless.

This is what im planning to do to my prodrives soon.

Clay
Apply Wheel wax and let it cure
Then apply some synthetic wax

just about all new wheels are clear coated...

and have seen discussions about prodrives with various clearcoat issues on other car owners boards (indicating to me that they have to be clear coated or it would not be a discussion)

I just detailed my prodrives last week.

Took me about 4 hours.
Washed them
Clay Bar
4 layers of wax/synthetic wax

The wheel wax was a b!tch to buff out, because it got so hard. I had to spray QD on it to get it off.

Will get pics up tomorrow.
