 I've got 2 sets that are still in the boxes ,when buying them online was told to put "wheel wax " on them front and back   :shruggy:   

     12 months later I'm still trying to find "wheel wax"   :scratchchin:   this is what auto parts store keep trying to sell me and its not what I'm looking for

                                                                       

                                                               what do you guys use

    keep getting told to just use "car wax " but this is not the tub of wax that you put on a cloth and apply to your wheels that was described to me   :shruggy:

Never heard of wheel wax either.  Just keep them waxed with the paint/body wax of your choice, and store them in as dry of an environment as you can...

Had a metals engineer (ferrous metallurgist PHD) once tell me that the Mothers Marine Synthetic Wax is best for chromed surfaces.

Their website says it's designed for gelcoats.  And it  fights: "salt spray, relentless sun and waterborne minerals".  So I say it is very good stuff for wheels.  I love Mothers no matter what the wax is meant for.

I guarantee this will work........even against acids!  We sell it to NATO and over 40,000 Military Units use it on their metals components.  (Guns, Tanks, etc....)  We also have a similar product line called "MAGIC GUARD" that is used for things like Chrome Wheels.

What is the difference between RPM and AMMO? 

RPM requires heat on the metal part before you apply it.  After it is applied, you don't wipe it off.  A very thin film is all that is necessary to treat the part. 

AMMO & Magic Guard do not require heat for application.  You rub it on the part and wipe it off after about 30-60 seconds.  You won't find either on our Classic Car website because they have not been added to that area.  If you call 1-855-532-7846 and request information about either item, our reps will know about the products and answer any questions you have.

I use Mequire's polish & wax on my chrome plated steel wheels (Cadillac STS daily driver) and it does seem to keep down the rust when left out in the elements.  It can remove light rust stains from the chrome, but not pits in the steel.  Unfortunately, the wheels have to be completely clean to do this, or you risk very minor scratches to the chrome finish (especially on chrome plated plastic parts like lug covers).  I wash the wheels first, dry them with a clean towel then do the polishing/wax.  Mothers is also a good brand to use for this.  I used to be able to get their best aluminum and chrome polish (in a small can), but have not seen it for a while now.  The recent stuff I have found that looks like it is not as good...
