ronvonhagen,



I have had great success using Klasse All In One either by itself or better yet topped with Platinum Ultimate Paint Protection. The wheels are very shiny, slick to the touch and make them easier to clean. Also, brake dust and road grime don`t seem to seem to stick to the wheels as much.



Cheers,

Why is carnauba not good for wheels?

Carnauba just does not last like a sealant.



Also, if you are braking heavy, the wax will probably just melt off the wheels.

UPP as been elected as the best, though some like the SONAX motorcycle spray wax for easy to use.

I have used Meguiars #20 Polymer Sealant and have had great success. It has a mild cleaner, so that helps. I usually then top it with a shot of 303 Protectant. Now all I have to do the clean my wheels is use one of my microfiber towels (designated for this job) and some gold class shampoo and they clean-up very easily. Rarely do I have to use a wheel cleaner.:up

I like the UPP on the wheels, has a great shine and the biggest plus is that it made washing so easy even the dust on a BMW.

Thanks everyone, I appreciate your expertise. I think I`m going to order some Klasse AIO. Who makes the Platinum Ultimate Paint Protection and does CMA carry it? Thanx again.

I use Klasse SG on my wheels. I figured the P21S wheel cleaner I use beforehand should remove most, if not all the dirt on the wheels so no point using AIO.

Anyone try Wheel Wax?

Seems like this would be a good wax because its made just for wheels.

I`ve tried it and didn`t have good luck with it. It made my wheels look great after I applied, but then any water that dried on them left streaks after a rain or something. the good look didn`t stay
