Waxing New Wheels
I got some new wheels. Is it worth waxing them before getting them mounted or is it just a waste of time? They have an excellent glossy clear coat on them as is but I figure extra protection isn't a bad thing.

Waxing will help keep brake dust from sticking. It will also help protect the paint, just as it helps protect the paint on the rest of the car.
