Could do with something as I have to cross over a gravel yard which often has massive puddles on it etc. What do people use?

Poorboys wheel wax?

Waste of space in the detailing cabinet. Buy a high strength and cheap wax. Finishkare high temp wax or colinite 476 for example. Use it on wheels and paint. Much better buy over a dedicated wheel wax.

You probably can use the wheel wax on paintwork but just another marketing scheme.

I went for the colinite just for fact I can also use it on paintwork. Watched a few vids on youtube of it on paintwork and I was impressed.
