Question Good Wheel Waxes?

I'm about to order new wheels and tires VERY VERY soon from tirerack.com. They have a lot of options, like "Add Gorilla Wheel Locks to Cart" and "Add Wheel Wax to cart." Has anyone used this wheel wax? I've looked at the picture, and I've NEVER seen it in any auto parts store ever.

Skip it, you already have a GREAT wheel wax, as I see Zaino in your signature, just apply Z-1,2,5,6,7,ZFX of your choice on your wheels and they will stay clean longer and be easier to clean when they do get brake dust on them.

I agree with Kevin. The Zaino polishes provide great protection for the paint, as well as the wheels, and nearly all hard exterior surfaces. I'll bet their wheel wax isn't purely polymer based meaning it won't last too long on the wheels due to the high heat generated from the brakes. The Zaino polishes can withstand a few hundred degrees before they start to break down. Apply some Z2 or Z5, as often as you like or whenever you Z the car, and you'll notice the wheels are much easier to clean going forward without the use of harsh wheel cleaners.

Hmmm, wouldn't it be fantastic if ZainoBros came out with a wheel wax that withstands extremely high temps with great durability and shine!

Cool! I didn't know you could use Zaino on wheels. Thanks for the help!

I have used Zaino many times before on my wheels and it works very well.

YUP Zaino, they make them shine great and keep them very easy to clean.
