View Full Version : Wheel Wax
Scarelane

I have billet aluminum wheels on my Fairlane, which look great but are lots of work to keep looking nice. I also have disc brakes front and rear.
Can anyone recommend a wheel wax? Does that help quite a bit or not worth the time? Up to this point, I've just been polishing as needed. Normally using Mother's Billet Aluminum Polish.
Also remember this is not a daily driver at all. Just a "fun", nice weather car.
Thanks much..:buffing:

I would just use what you have. I have heard that the brand Wheel Wax is hard to remove.

Ok. Thanks for the reply. I see a few different wheel waxes for sale on AG, so I'm curious.

i use the brand wheel wax and have liked the results. not hard to remove as long as u dont let it set very long. i normally put the wax on all the wheels and once i put the wax on i go back to the first wheel and take off. comes off very ez. but what u have should be good

Duragloss 501/601 Long lasting, crud just washes off with soap and water and a little agitation

I've not used this product myself yet, but I've heard good reviews:Collinite Metal Wax # 850 (http://www.autogeek.net/collinite-metal-wax.html)
All my wheels are painted, clearcoated or have chrome rings and centers. I use Collinite 845 since it looks good and is so durable. All the brake dust comes off with just a normal wash.

I have just started using Opti-Seal on my wheels. So far it has worked great. And it is soooo easy to apply. I think it gives stuff like 845 a run for its money. And yes I have used 845, KAIO/KSG, Wheel wax and others.
