"Wheel Wax"

Anybody used it? Advance Auto Parts sells a "Wheel Wax" which helps shine your wheels and protect it from brake dust. I get A LOT of brake dust from my Hawk HPS brake pads and I'm debating trying it out. Any other similar products?

Currently I use spray Eagle Wheel and Tire Cleaner on them and then use a "plastic" bristled brush to wipe em down and spray them off with water once a week.

A paint sealant will accomplish the same thing.

Ditto. I use Gold Class or some leftover Mothers FX Synwax that I have. I'd be weary of using anything made specifically for wheels unless it is made by a big name company (Eagle1, Mothers, Mequiars, etc.)

Edit: DON'T use the Eagle1 wheel cleaner after you wax them. I have found that it just strips the wax. So normally I'll go 3 months or so with the wax (easy to clean, just rub a sponge over wheels every car wash) and then I'll use Eagle1 wheel cleaner and re-apply after that. Just my personal experience but I just think that it strips the wax.
