Ok...I have read many mixed reviews on wheel wax.
Is Wheel Wax worth buying and using or am I better off just using regular wax on my wheels? My goal is to make it easier to get the brake dust off of my wheels. The dust is so bad that if I wait more than 3 days, I can't wipe it off with soap and water unless I want to scratch them. Anyone know of anything else other than Wheel Wax?

 

Do not use regular wax on wheels. Most regular waxes are not made to withstand the high temperature brake dust that comes off the pads. Also most regular wax will melt over time and they can really f-up your wheels. Using a wheel sealant or wax (same difference) will make regular cleanings much easier and will greatly improve the longevity of your wheels. I recomend either Wheel Sealant or Wheel Wax. Both of them are really good, just make sure you apply them to clean wheels and reapply as necessary.

 

you really need to reapply. I haven't put any on in over a month and the grey coating up front is back :P it is really easy to clean once applied. just take a towel slightly damp and buff it to shine.

 

are you using wheel sealant or wheel wax? I'm trying to figure out which one works best

 

wheelwax

 

IMO the only thing better than the shine and the ability to clean off break dust is the SMELL!! wheelwax has an addictive scent!!

 

I have been using Wheel Wax for several months. So far, I am pleased with the shine. It takes less time to clean the wheels. Make sure you don’t put too much Wheel Wax on the wheels when apply. Putting a thin layer is good enough.

 

I ordered Wheel Wax several weeks ago, my order never arrived.
I e-mailed them a copy of my order confirmation and asked the about status.
That evening I received a phone call from customer service, they explained they had a computer problem and my order was lost, but they would send it out the next day, plus many apologies...
Two days later I received the Wax and a complimentary bottle of the tire black.

This is great customer service.

I cleaned my G-35X wheels and applied the Wax, it makes a big difference....
then I tried it on my 11 year old Volvo 850 and it really perked up those tired and abused wheels.

The tire black works better than any other product I have used.

I am a very satisfied customer......

is the tire black just to shine the tires?

 

if high temp is the concern... wouldn't using a synthetic like menzerna FMJ work? not knocking wheelwax as i haven't used it (and also my 05 doesn't dust much)... just curious.

 

Wheel wax worked really well for me, I now use car wash soap instead of a wheel cleaner spray like Eagle One or P21s so it's faster too. But it also means that you can't use these cleaning products again because they will strip the wax off and you will have to wax again.

I also liked to use the Mothers Powerball to apply, it went on a lot faster and cleaned (Wheel Wax is also a cleaner) better than by hand.

 

which website did you order the wheel wax from? it seems like there are two or 3 different kinds. can't tell which one is the REAL wheel wax or if they are all the same w/different labels

 

me and some others i know ordered from
