Never tried it. If I were really picky about waxing my wheels, I would make sure it is a synthetic. Wheel temps can get pretty high right next to the brake rotors. Wax melts.

Also, I know a guy who loves using Eagle One Wax as you Dry on wheels after a regular wash.

I've heard it's really nice stuff, but haven't tried it myself. It's on my "list" for next year!

I have only used the Mothers chrome and mag polish. It seems to work really well, the water beads right off and brake dust doesn't collect as quickly. My $0.2

I intend on trying the Meguiars Final Detail spray on my wheels. Been using Quick Detailer on them for a while now and it works pretty good, but with the additional silicone in the Final Detail, it should work better. Didn't you already order some of this stuff recently?

Are you using it on your factory wheel's ?

If so you really don't need it. A good coat of synthetic sealant and spray detail to clean and you should have good protection & easy cleaning.

I am trying the Stoner BeadMax. I am using SpeedBead in the rear wheel well and in the bed with good results so far.

The last 2 "hose-off" washings it seemed to do good with removing the break dust with little effort. Have only coated them one time, I will be doing an "over-haul" cleaning shortly to get ready for winter.

So far so good, only time will tell.

The contents say a blend of natural and synthetic waxes, I really wanted 100% synthetic for the wheels, but have not found one that I am willing to try ( don't need to spend 2 days waxing wheels, I could just use the time cleaning them over the course of the year ).

This is on L wheels, not the stock Chrome ones.
