Sure will! Car is brand new right now, so want to get at it before it gets all gunky on the inside. Once this weather clears up...ugh.

Sure. However, that wax is not forumulated for high temps and will not last long. Something liek Wheel Wax or Wheel Sealant is what you need.

As for polishing the wheels, I have tried the Mothers Metal Polish, NXT, and the Meguiars Pro Line. The Pro Line (can't remember the number right now) is the best, hands down. It can be hard to find but is well worth the search. I use that with a powerball on my non-clearcoated Fikse wheels on the Corvette.

blanc - the car looks great!

Very nice detail and I bet you felt it the next day doing it all by hand

A great combination to seal the wheels is using about 3 applications of Klasse SG followed up with Collinite 845 Insulator Wax. The Collinite wax by itself is very durable if you want to skip the SG. It can also be found at your local Advance Auto Parts in the marine section.
