For sure. I used them on my 18" sport wheels and they are painted. Worked as advertised.

I apply Wheel Wax every year when I take the rims on and off the car. And yes, it should be fine on custom painted wheels.

Well, the wheel wax is not really gonna protect the wheel from scratching or can it buff out scratches. It is more meant to help preserve the lustre of the clearcoating on the wheel and to slow down the oxidation process. Much like how waxing the car is to preserve the clearcoat shine over the paint.

If you want to buff out fine hairline scratches, maybe try a mild polisher or consult a professional detailer.

hitup advance auto parts today and burnt a hole in my pocket when i left.
I basicly got wheelwax 13$ btw for a small jar.
got EagleOne all wheel n tire cleaner 6$
got EagleOne tireshine, but this thing was a gel with an attach wheel shape applicator 10$
after that i stopped to get gas, 43$ :death:
So i drove home knowing i was gona starve tonight cuz i aint no way spending anymore money today.
got home and put on the products.
The wheelwax i dont know, put it on and let it haze and rubbed it off, it looks clean but not too impressing.
The EagleOne tire gel was OMFG the BOMB. I can see my freckles cuz it shine so badass. took a drive to show off and man did i felt king of the road. Hehe
even passing cop in there patrol gave me looks. Freaked me out abit.

well I recommend everyone to get the EagleOne tire gel. Best 10$ ull ever on tires.
