Default Wheel Waxing?

For those of you with chrome wheels, do you ever wax your wheels? I know I've read somewhere that this is a good idea to do. How and what do you use to do this? Thanks in advance for your help!

Justin can help but I use any over the counter stuff from Autozone, Murrays, or pepboys and Meijiers.....to name a few. I have chrome too and after I polish them I follow with a coat of Meguiars Tech wax 2.0.....nice....use a wheel quik detailer for in between washings and to remove the brake dust after just one drive. I use eagle one nano polish as it really enhances shine first or mother chrome polish!

I carry a wheel sealant that cleans, polishes, and leaves a layer of protection behind. This is specially formulated for wheels. http://stores.theragshack.com/-strse...eal/Detail.bok

I have been using the Justin's Wheel Seal for a few weeks now. Puts a great shine on the wheel, and brake dust and dirt fly off with a hose now, no scrubbing.

I usually give them a good polish with some Microfiber towels and Windex, leaves a beautiful shine. I might try out some Meguiars tech wax...I'm really looking for something to protect the chrome and help keep off any brake dust.

The wheel seal offers great protection and the brake dust will come off with ease. Products that aren't designed for wheels won't last as long.

Should I not use Windex then? I just use it pretty much to shine up really nice and for the most part does a fantastic job.
