    Default Rimwax??

    I know it sounds like something used by frequenters of Hampstead Heath, but I saw it advertised in Autocar this week. The blurb says it reduces brake dust by (a ridiculous) 75%, plus it's very shiny.

    Has anyone used it and, if you have, is it any good?

    Any other suggestions for keeping your rim(s) waxed

    When i had my 190 detailed, the guys used this. Was very good yes, especially for multispokes, quick wipe and spray off and looked like they were new

    i use poor boys wheel sealant, like a wax and has to be rubbed in and buffed off, have also used turtle wax brake dust barrier, which is a spray on and wipe off wax. All are good use them both, if i'm in the mood and doing the full works on my car then wheels off, cleaned, sealant then waxed.

    Never heard of it - but atfer a thread title like that I'm unlikely to forget it

    Looks Ok - might give it a try after the wheels are redone

    Thought it might get your attention Colin

    I might give it a go if I ever have enough money to get my wheels refurbished. I just keep buying too much other stuff at the moment Then again, I might just give it a go anyway, as I like buying cleaning stuff, even though I find little time to use it

    I use the same wax for the carpaint as for my rims. I also use it on all glass and it works fine for me.
    I don' think there is any significant differences in rimwax, carwax or glasswax, just a different bottle.

    I use Sonax carpolish and sonax super liquidwax.

    Sounds like something you would get from Ann Summers
