Sorry if this is a stupid question, I looked around and couldn't really find an answer - is Wheel Wax alright to use on Volks? Last thing I want to do is mess up the clear coat. I'm sure it's fine, just wanted to get some feedback and make sure.

Thanks!

i would like to know too

 

ive used nxt wax on my volks. havent had a problem. its clear coat safe. you should be careful thou. most people just recommend water and soap thou

 

You might consider applying 1 to 2 coats of Klasse High Gloss Sealant Glaze, as a base, prior to waxing. This stuff works wonders. I have been using it for many many years.

 

wheel wax is the only thing i use to shine my volks up

 

its definetly a good thing. use it!

 

I've used WheelWax on Volk, Enkei and stock Infiniti wheels with great success. I like it a lot.

After trying several of the better "car" waxes I found they all attracted brake dust and didn't hold up to the heat the wheels experience.

any wheel wax is good?? I heard Zaino has one... and it works well... i know mothers and meguiars has one also

 

Zaino doesn't have one afaik - but you can use their sealants on wheels (Z2/Z5) and it'll achieve the same effect. Instead of using pricey sealants/waxes I normally just use a little Klasse AIO or Megs NXT on my wheels.

 

I used Zaino on my winter alloys one winter and the following winter I used Wheelwax. I noticed a huge improvement with the Wheelwax. The wheels seem to stay cleaner and were easier to keep clean. I have my summer rims treated with wheelwax and I'm expecting to see a big improvment with wheel cleaning this year.
+1 for Wheelwax

 

Sorry to hijack but Wheel Wax OK on Nismos too?

 

^^ghey...they are good on all wheels ghandi

 

Mothers has this thing called wheel ball or wheel wand that you attach to a power drill??? anyone tried this yet?? Looks easy to use, just wondering if safe on all wheels?

 

i used it on mine - VOLK LE37T gunmetal with chrome lip. no problems whatsoever, but it does protect from the brake dust - as in, it takes more than twice as long for the brake dust to accumulate on the wheels. definitely a worthy 30 minutes spent cleaning the wheels and applying the wax.

 

This is the powerball polisher you attach to a hand held drill right? The one that chicago kid was talking about. How does it work on the corners and connecting pieces. You use it all over the wheel or just the lip. What kind of wax or polishing agent did you use with the ball? Doesn't the wax leave white cake/powder in the cracks, especially cuz you have gunmetal. I had one in hand this weekend, but put it back cuz i was unsure if it was safe on rims that are coated/painted/finished/anodized, etc...

Anyone tried using the new wax by McG or i forget who that doesn't produce white haze/powder and is safe on black plastic pieces too? I use regular wax on the lip only, but I want to try a wheel polish or I guess i will step up to the wheel wax everyone is talking about.
