    The best wax for the dollar is DP's MAX WAX. You don't have to let it dry and goes on smooth as butter. It works well on wheels too. You might want to get a PC kit from AutoGeek. Saves you alot of money and gets you everything at once saving you some shipping too.

    Poorboy's Natty's Blue is a really good wax and is less expensive than DP Max Wax. However, as Justin said Max Wax does go on as smooth as butter and is very easy to remove.

    I too recommend looking at the various Autogeek kits. They offer really good value.

    I agree with everybody above! As far as wax, the best I've used so far is Liquid Souveran!

    So for keeping my wheels looking good, can I just put Natty's Blue on 'em?

    I wouldn't just because wax has a melting point that is reached with just a few stop signs. A wheel sealant would be a better choice for the job, but I have read people give good review on Collinite and or Klasse twins with good results. I currently use PB wheel sealnt and it works great for me.....

    It pops flakes up and makes finish looking real wet! As far as for wheels - DP Wheel Glaze will last the longest(About 4 weeks, use only soap and water to wsh them). Tires will look very nice with DP, Wolfgang, or Pinacle tire gels.
