Nice work as always!!!

How do you like the Opti Coat?

Very nice! How long do you expect the Wolf Rim Shield to provide protection? I used Opti Seal and I don't think it really lasts for very long on the wheels.

sorry for the delay I have seen it last 6 plus months it was on my wheels all winter (but we really didn't have one) it definitely helps with the cleaning process.
I used Sonax to remove the brake dust every week and it is holding up well.
