Use Zaino and you can't go wrong. All the facts are in the CarCare section.

I tried it on my bimmer - wasn't impressed with it as far as longevity. Have been using Klasse products for about three years - lasts for months and wheels are a breeze to keep clean.

I would highly suggest DP's Wheel Glaze or Poorboys Wheel Sealant over Wheel Wax if you are looking for wheel protection. Both last far longer, and installed easier without as much streaking as was present with Wheel Wax. They all offer some additional protection to wheels and make in-between cleaning better.

I too like the ability of Klasse AIO the best. Because it is an acrylic sealant if offers length in protection (remember them wheels get mightly hot) and it has cleaners in it to help keep them clean. The sealants above, as well as those in the posts above will need to be done last, after properly cleaning, and polishing your wheels step by step.

I have tried it and it has a great fragrance. I am not sure yet of the durability of it until a few more cleanings. I have used Klasse AIO and Klasse Sealant on the wheels didn't seem to do anything for brake dust protection.
