Thumbs up Wheel wax report

My apologies if someone has already reported on this......

I read about this wheel wax on another thread awhile ago & decided to try it out to help with brake dust. It goes on & buffs out pretty easily. After a day of driving yesterday (couple hundred miles), there appeared to be less brake dust than without the wax. I used a feather duster to easily get rid of what little dust there was.

I think this stuff works great. Hope this info helps others.

Default Zaino

Yes, Zaino application to the wheels give the expected results; high gloss, and brake dust wipes off easily w/o chemical agents.

BTW, high degree of brake dust for first ~ 500 miles. Less so, now at 1,000 miles.

I did Zaino and ordered the Wheel Wax. So far no problems with the Zaino on the wheels.

Maybe I need to do a comparison.

Any polymer sealant, such as Zaino, Klasse, Platinum, Nufinsh, Finish First, Liquid Glass, etc. will make your wheels easier to clean. I use Meguiar's #20. I took off the wheels and cleaned them thoroughly, and then sealed with 2 coats of #20 and now I just wash the wheels just like I do the rest of the car (with a different mitt, of course) and there is never any brake dust on them.

Oh, I almost forgot to add that most wheels got too warm for waxes. They won't last very long before all the wax is gone. Polymers are the way to go for wheels.
