My Eg is on jacks since the Rotas are getting balanced tommorrow. I cleaned them real good tonight, from the inside out using car wash soap, sponge, and elbow grease. I would like to put some kind of protectant on the rims before I mount them back on the car. I am thinking Meguiars wax #3 in the 3 step I use on my car should be fine since they're painted.

Thanks for any tips on this

 

Make sure your wheels are super clean and cool. Other than that wax away.

 

You don't need a special wax for wheels. Don't let marketing fool you. Whatever you got in the garage is fine. Wheels stay low and take a beating from brake dust, water, dirt, and crap on the road. The wax will not stay on long anyways. But it's all good to wipe on a coat for the average car guy.
