    DP wheel glaze is a special type of polymer sealant designed for wheels. It makes wheel cleaning easier (using just soap and water), has antistatic properties. Out of 3 products designed for wheels (DP, Poorboy's, and Wheel Wax), I recommend DP wheel glaze. It will last the longest - aproximately 4 weeks.

    Most paint sealants can be used on wheels with nice results, the DP Wheel Glaze also offers some very light final cleaning. Its a nice product, and relatively cheap.

    Caranuba won't work because of the tempatures your wheels see.

    ive heard carnauba will attract more dust so thats a No no on wheels

    i use DP, but i have heard great things about poorboys as well, and bad things about wheel wax so i wouldnt buy wheel wax.

    Wheel Wax is donky crap, DP Wheel Glaze and Poorboys Wheel Sealant are where its at. Myself, I just use some AIO and light coat of EX-P, my trucks wheels went almost 2 months with that stuff. Just this past weekend did the beading and dirt repelling noticeably stop. I would just wash with regular car soap and they'd come sparkling clean every time.

    Wheels get very high temp, so carnauba will melt right off.
