Default Rimwax... Is it worth the $$

Anyone use this purple rimwax stuff?

It just seems to me to appear to be a big waste of money.... I mean, 15 quid for a small little jar.... Whats the difference to normal wax.....

I'm just curious to see if anyone recommends it - Its not worth it on my wheels at the moment but I might bother with it if I buy a new set

Poorboys wheel sealant for me too....running white Inovit Redlines 18"'s, and as they NEED washed every 2 days I would highly recommend ANY form of protection, but the Poorboys is reasonably priced, easy to work with and does exactly what its supposed to IMHO

2 coats of Jeffs Prime strong and a few coats of Poorboys and you wont go far wrong,as above it will make cleaning the wheels easier.

I know the stuff you are on about, I have been using it, and I find it pretty good, goes on well, buff's off nicely, and leaves a brilliant shine behind. It seems to last for a few weeks (using the car daily).

When it finally runs out I may try something else just to see, but failing that I would certainly buy another pot.

IMO Swissvax Autobahn Wheel Wax is the best.
