Wheel Waxing...?
Discussion
Just a quick (and possibly very foolish question). I have recently bought some Collinite wax and as well as doing the bodywork, i have considered cleaning and waxing the alloys. My idea being that dirt etc will be easier to wash off later, as well as making them look shiny!
However, im quite prepared to be told that this is a stupid thing to do. My misgiving being that the wax may end up discolouring because of the heat generated by the brakes. Is that a problem, or indeed, is there another reason that ive overlooked not to do it?
Any help greatly appreciated...

I've tried most things on wheels over the past 4 years.
My experience would say, do not buy a specialist wheel product as they tend to be less durable than a good sealant.
One of my favourite sealants for wheels is Finish Kare 1000p, its a high temperature sealant and it's going very well on my wheels, a good 4 months and still going. A dedicated wheel sealant will probably give you 8 to 10 weeks.
The FK1000p can be had from seriousperformance.co.uk who distribute it in the UK.
It's brilliant on paintwork too.
