Default Wheel wax

Has anyone used wheel wax and if so any recommendations?

Simon....I have used Autoglym Wheel Seal on my alloy's, even on the plastic wheel trims of the Yaris, well pleased with the results, nice finish and easy to wash.

Thanks Graham. Autoglym products are all pretty good.
I didn't realise they did a wheel seal

we use this stuff, its not cheap but one bottle has done at least 3 sets of wheels and all the plastics on 2 cars (twice)
it lasts for ages (12 months plus!!) and it really is just a case of a quick blast with the pressure washer and they come up clean or the slightest bit of rub if really really bad

I use Collinite 476 on mine, same as I use on the bodywork. Saves buying separate products and works just as well on the wheels as it does on the bodywork. I've never really understood the need for special wheel wax/sealant if I'm honest.

Cool

I use the same wax I use on the body, Meguiars Ultimate polish. Brings the wheels up a treat.

Used bouncers looking sweet which was good, then swissvax autobahn which is probably the best wheel wax I've used... I use sealants now though I liked C5 but now I'm using crystal serum light which I am loving!

Exclamation

I'm a complete novice when it comes to detailing of any sort but isn't there an issue using car body waxes on wheels due to the extreme high temperature that wheels get to?

Default Wheel Wax

I use this for all my wheels, and find it gives a nice finish to them and stops them getting too dirty, and will last a very long time, also use it on the underbonnet and engine bay
