Question wheel polish question

i have the ss silver 5 spoke (17x9.5) Which appear to be clear coated. I would think you would use the same wax that you do on the car on the wheels. Is this right. thanks for the help. mario

Yup, you certainly can and should use a good protective wax on wheels. I happen to use Zaino on mine which also helps prevent a lot of brake dust buildup. As long as the wax/polish has NO abrasives it's O.K. to use. As with a paint finish the abrasives could easily wear away the clear coat on wheels. But, a pure wax or polymer of your choice should work fine.
