WheelWax

SubieNewbie · 02-03-2006, 10:26 PM

Bought some the other day. Hope it works as well as they claim it does on their website. Anyone know if they are safe for our Brembo calipers?

I just use my regular NXT wax on the rims and the brembo's. It works awsome. The brake dust was just washing right off. I need to rewax here soon

wheel waxing is awesome...dust does fly off. now that i have a garage i can enjoy my waxing neuroses in private

I just started using it last month. Here's what I've found. The dust doesn't just come off with a spayer. You still need to just barely rub it with a sponge/towel/brush/finger for it to come off. However the benefit I have noticed is that the dust doesn't accumulate on the wheel nearly as quickly as it did when I was using Zaino on the wheels. I can actually go two weeks between washing the wheels.

What kind of wheel wax are you guys getting for your cars? I might go get some myself.

sizzflair · 02-04-2006, 01:30 PM

go to www.wheelwax.com

I got one for my car (cuz im so sick of black wheels haha), but haven't tested it yet. Search for 'wheelwax' on ebay and you'll find a littlebit cheaper price.

I can't wait for the weather to warm up so I can wash these stupid wheels by hand lol

Anybody who is using WheelWax on the Brembo calipers? Is it pretty safe to do it?

Turboxer · 03-08-2006, 10:12 AM

Nice find! I'll have to try some.

Trying to find that out as well. I think it wouldnt hurt.

This is awesome stuff. I am going to go out and try to get some of it while the summer wheels are still off.

I had NO clue what WD40 can do on the BBS! I cleaned them up yesterday with some paper towels and WD40 and they look like new!!! I was amazed. Make sure you clean up your wheels with WD40 before you wax them with WheelWax. Still cannot believe it...

I used wheelwax and like it. I need to rewax 2 or 3 times a year.
