I'd just get some wheel polish, Mothers, Eagle One, Meguiars, etc...all make good wheel polishes, probably clean/protect better than paint wax.

Probably not, the wheel polish would protect better than wax, I'd ask NXGHOST.

^I used to do that every other time when I had my Lightning, it's really not worth it if you ask me, looks good, but who looks at the insides of rims? No offence Bubba.

You are 100% right. I clean the inside of the Roush chromies every 10 kms, and you would be suprised how many people notice filthy inner rims. It's impressive to see the shine from the inside as well as the outside :thumb1:

Try Poorboys Wheel Sealant, it's basically a wax for weels. Stuff works great. Makes regular cleaning a little easier. Eshine sells it.

Cheers!
