Question

Is it obsessive to wax your alloys?

Cool

MisterToad

It certainly is not obsessive to wax your alloys. provided you really clean you alloys beforehand and then wax afterwards will be of great benefit. Wax will add a protective barrier as well as gloss. Brake dust will settle on the wax and a week later they are dead easy to wash.

However, you must regularly wax the wheels for optimum protection. It is something I always do when valeting a car and also I wax my alloys.

Have fun. ;-)

Wax my alloys regularly. As stated it stops the brake dust sticking. Also my 33 month old 16 inchers look brand new still.

Thumbs up

I just spent the last 2 hours utilizing the trolley jack (XMAS PRESSIE) and removing my Super L's and completely removing every spot of brake dust inside and out then the Wax Wizard treatment inside and out.
Autoglym Tyre Dressing as a final touch and my wheels look superb

IMHO of course

Wax your wheels obsessive NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
