  • What wax is good for rims?

    What kind of wax should be used on rim's? Here is the rim I have on the car.

    Hi:

    Nice rims.

    Not familiar with that particular rim. If they are clear coated, I have been having good luck with NXT tech wax. Since this is a synthetic wax it will hold up to the heat better.

    Keeping my rims clean has been much easier since I started using NXT on them.

    Hope that helps.

        Hey,

        Nice rims!

        I would suggest either NXT Tech Wax or Meguiar's #20 Polymer Sealant.

        Cheers!

          Similar to what has been said already, you'll want to choose a high-quality product that is able to hold up to the higher temperatures generated by the brake system. With that in mind, I'll repeat the suggestions of my colleges (NXT or #20) and add one more option into the mix; Meguiar's Medallion Premium Paint Protection. I've been utilizing MPPP for quite some time on my rims and find it to be a great product to not only keep them shiny and protected but, to aid in cleaning them as it usually just takes a stream of water to get them just about perfect.

          Any of the above would be a great choice! Good luck and let us know what you go with and how it turns out!

            I use NXT wax on my painted/Clear Coat rims.... I use the same steps as on my truck:

            1. DC #1
            2. #81 Hand Polish
            3. 2 coats of NXT

            They are a pain to clean and wax but the results are worth it!
