Waxing chrome...

I can't remember with great certainty but, I believe the chrome bumps on most FoMoCo products are coated. That being said, you should wax. If you try to polish and you don't note any 'darkening' of your applicator, they *ARE* coated.
So, in recap...
Coated = Wax
Non-Coated = Metal Polish then Wax

Waxing your wheels really isn't going to benefit you in the long run. Wax works alot like ice. When it gets hot, it melt (or liquifies) and a wheel gets hot. So when the wheel gets up to operating temp, the wax will heat up, reliquify, and when you roll on down the road at 60 or so the wax will go bye bye.

For one, any protection on there is better than none at all. But, with today's higher-tech synthetics, they have a much higher temperature range before becoming 'fluid'. As such, they will produce a level of protection that is far superior to that of nothing at all.
A natural carnuaba wax, in my opinion, more closely describes your quoted example above... hard to beat that carnuaba shine though!
