Do you wax your powdercoated wheels?

[Shandon]

What do you guys put on your wheels if anything after washing? I have powdercoated centers and chrome lips. The centers collect most the brake dust and I generaly just wash and dry. Do you put anything on the wheel like wax or anything to make it easier to wash them down?

been wanting to ask a friend about this but id say if the centers are glossy (mine are NOT) id wax for sure. if flat definitely not.

the lips i always wax though

I used wax on semi gloss powdercoated wheels for years , around 40,000 miles, with no problems.....

I prefer a synthetic like Zaino or Klasse on my wheels isnce they get very hot and carnuaba type wax products do not hold up to the heat or environments as well.

I agree on the Zaino. Never knew that the heat breaks down the other types of natural polishes/waxes. I just always used Zaino for the car and the powdercoated rims. Worked on my Rays wheels and works on the HRE's as well. When it gets a little dirty, I just use the Mothers Quick Detail and most of the dirt comes off with the exception of some tar at times.

That and Mothers Billet and Wenol for the polished lips. I wanted them clearcoated but was worried about the high probability of scuffing when changing out tires.

Yes, synthetic is Much more durable over natual/caranuba, so it is the way to go for wheels

Which Wax is Best- Carnauba car wax or Synthetic waxes. All natural carnauba wax offers an unutterably beautiful, liquid shine that cannot be replicated, but it must be reapplied more frequently than synthetic waxes.
