Wheel Wax

From Detailed Image:
Everyday your wheels are fighting a battle against road grime, brake dust, tar, salt, moisture and so much more. Give your wheels the valuable protection they need, add more shine to the wheel and make future cleanings easier with Wheel Wax. With one product you will help remove built up contamination and leave a brilliant gloss on the wheels. Apply this product to your wheels just like you would a wax, let it haze and then remove it. You now have a micro thin layer of protection that will help prevent contaminates from building up on your wheel. The contamination has a more difficult time sticking to this micro thin barrier of protection, which makes it harder for contaminates to accumulate and it’s easier to clean. Keep your wheels looking their best for longer with Wheel Wax.

I've had pretty good luck using Wheel Wax in the past. The product is very easy to work with, applies and removes easy. Do not be alarmed if your jar looks as if it came used, that is how I've always received them.

Wheel Wax does a decent job helping minimize brake dust build up and other road contamination from clinging to the surface. I typically apply this product once a month to maintain proper protection. It also leaves the wheels with a nice glow to them. This product works best when the wheels are thoroughly cleaned and or polished prior to applying Wheel Wax.

I've been testing Poorboy's Wheel Sealant against Wheel Wax but haven't had enough time to see how they compare as far as durability is concerned. I'll keep you updated.

Chances are you are going to remove a good amount if not all of the protection from the Wheel Wax, especially if the cleaner you are using is acidic and not pH balanced.

Best bet is a dedicated wash mitt and automotive shampoo and water for regular maintenance when using a product such as Wheel Wax or Wheel Sealant.

I tried it, and IMHO it is just a good cleaner wax. I found that it didn't hold up well at all (Washing with car wash soap only no chemicals). I think that for wheels, synthetic sealants are the only way to go for durability. I don't knwo of too many natural products that can withstand the abuses wheels endure.
