Default Let's talk wheel wax

I recently acquired some mag. blue te37's and these wheels are painted and I want to keep them clean. What type of wheel wax should I be looking at that is safe for paint.

Poorboys smells great, always makes me crave cotton candy after I am done detailing. You can use a dedicated wheel wax or save a little and use the same sealant you use on the paint. I still use Full Molecular Jacket as my wheel sealant, it seems to last a good two months.

The best wheel protection we offer is on Poorboy's World Wheel Sealant - 8 oz. It smells great, applies with ease and leaves valuable protection on the wheels.

Yes it's safe on all clear coated and metal lips. I have yet to work on a finish they don't work on.

hey guys, my nismo lmgt4s are looking pretty dull. No matter how much i wash em with soap and water i can never get em looking like new. Will this wheel sealant really make em stand out again? Or is there an actual polish thats safe on my clearcoat? Thanks!

poorboy's is the sh*t, I wouldn't use a regular wax as someone suggested only because I've heard that it doesn't stand up to the heat as well. It gets very hot around the brake area and normal wax can melt and hot brake dust will adhere to it and cause pitting... Just what I have heard... safer to use a dedicated wheel wax/sealant

Polishing is what will help deep clean the surface, with a product like the P21S Finish Restorer - 75 ml. By removing the surface imperfections like oxidation, brake dust, etc. you can get the deeper shine. The Poorboy's World Wheel Sealant - 8 oz will make the surface look a little bit better but it's primarily known for it's protection that makes future cleanings so much easier.
