Wheel Wax?

Got a set aftermarket painted black wheels. Looking into placing a order over at
autogeek for some cleaning supplies for the summer. Has anyone used any of the wheel polishes or waxes that they have there. What do you recommend or not recommend?

wheel wax

I have always used a good carnuba auto polish and waxed wheels 4 times a year makes regular cleaning easy

Carnauba wax will not hold up to the heat that wheels experience. You'll need to atleast use a synthetic wax. I've used Chemical Guys Wheel Wax and it works alright. Part of me doesn't think it's really worth the hassle to put it on though. Especially when cleaning wheels isn't all that difficult anyway. A little soap and water goes a long way. Optimum Opti-Seal would probably be a decent way to go though since it's just a wipe on product. There's no buffing anything off. Makes life easy.

Opti-Seal is all I use. It has good durability and can be applied in seconds.

For the money and performance, you can't beat Opti Seal.
