can I wax my wheels?

[Bundmar]

I was wondering if anyone has put a coat of wax on there chrome wheels and is it reccommended?

Wax will not hold up on wheels. I would use a wheel sealant that is specifically designed for wheels.

I have chrome wheels and use #26 carnauba wax from Meguiars. It is just wax, no harshness to damage the finish. Been using it for about 4 years now and NO problems.

I've always used a wax from Griots on my wheels and it really helps keep them from getting as dirty and makes them a lot easier to clean when they do. I remove the wheels from the car and give them a real good clean inside and out them put a good coat of wax on them. Depending upon the type of wheel you can then easily clean the entire wheel using the appropriate brushes.

I've used American Racing's wheel wax for around three years now and it works well and does a very good job of helping tp repel brake dust - makes wheel cleanup is pretty easy

I prefer using Mothers Pure Carnauba paste wax on bare alloys and chrome (as well as plastic chrome). Like like Meg's #26, it's got no cleaners, but the paste is easier to use for me than the liquid (which Mothers also makes).

I don't know about not holding up... wheels do get abused, but the level of abuse can vary a lot depending on many factors.

Though really, my preferred product for chrome would be a chrome polish like Mothers that is very mild and leaves a light coating of polymer protection.

You can absolutely wax your wheels, it helps them stay clean.

I use mothers on anything polished/chrome and it seems to make the part more resistant to getting dirt/crud on them.
