Product Review: Wheel Wax...

Puckman said:
I've used WW one time on a customer request and made 2 very bad mistakes with it. First I applied it a little too heavy and second, I let it really dry before buffing it off. The combination of those 2 mistakes resulted in what was like removing plaster! Heed Bill and MBFan's advice! Apply it thin and don't let it sit too long. The stuff is remarkable though and it lasted until I saw that customer again.

Those Vette wheels look great BIll and I'm anxious to see the durability with a KC onslaught of conditions.

I've learned that with any wax or sealant, "Thinner is Better!" (Sal Zaino taught me that one!)
 
Here's some results from today working on my 1990 MB 560 SEL that demonstrates pretty well how the Wheel Wax holds up. The last time these wheels were waxed was late August.

Before: Note a fair amount of dirt and brake dust....

After cleaning remaining brake dust with Never Dull, and one coat of Wheel Wax:

Pretty good results for wheels that are 20+ years old (re-chromed 10 years ago)!
 
hmmmm...last time I used Wheel Wax was almost 5 years ago, and if I remember correctly, durability was it's weekness...so I gave it away...
 
Okay,

I picked up some wheel wax from a local performance shop and tested it out today.

It was very easy to apply and remove. I remembered some of the tips from the other posters to this thread.

The looks are great. Now I will have to see about the durability.

Hey Barry... I loved it instantly! Just remember not to let it dry "hard" or you'll have to use a chisel to get it off!!!!:w00t:

I remembered everything I read here. Applied it thin, and diidn't wait too long to remove. It was very easy and does look great.

Thanks for recommending this, as it seems like a keeper:thumbup:
