Waxing Stock Wheels

[BlackXrunner05]

I'm sure I'm not the first one to wax my wheels ... just wondering if anyone else does it ?? I did it today for the first time when I was detailing my truck .... all i have to say is wow ! I mean the difference is slight but noticeable I use meguiars nxt generation tech wax ...

Worked really well on my last truck, but it had chrome wheels. Doesn't work quite as well on the alloys, though.

This last time around I tried the Dupont Teflon wax on them. Will have a better idea how it does when I wash this weekend.

Well this is what it'll look like with Meguiars NXT

You should try a synthetic wax or a sealant without carnuba. If your wheels heat up too much the carnuba will melt. I hear Jetseal 109 is a great sealant for paint as well as wheels.

Cause i like the way it looks now and if i do it in the future it going to be with BSP paint and a clear coat...... the black krylon makes it look like black plastic with no shine

I've had good results from Blue Magic Cream Polish, I use it with good results on my exhaust tip. I'm curious to try Adams 2 Step metal polish its a bit pricey though. Blue magic is only 5 dollars for a small tub.
