Wheel wax

What do you guys use on your rims to keep them clean and looking clean? Is there some kind of wax for your wheels? If so, what are the best brands and how much do they cost?

I use this Eagle Tire Wax, it keeps the tires really clean for a while, and then I just use the same on the rims...it seems to clean them pretty well...

try pressure washing the rims first, then apply this, the shine will stay for much longer.

regular wax for me too. it only takes a minute to do for each wheel. with waxed wheels, simply using a cloth or even tissue to wipe off grime n dirt off the slick surface is easy.

The full service car wash I use occasionally scratches my rims and I find that Meguiar's Scratch-X works like a charm to keep them looking new.

Is Scratch-X just like the 3M swirl remover?

scratch-x just for fine scratches, right? if ur talking bout actual scratches on the rim like when u hit the curb, that stuff aint gonna get those out. i've heard people having an autobody shop sand n polish it down.
