at the time I used FMJ for a wheel sealant, we have now moved on to using Swissvax Autobahn a wax specific to protecting your wheels.

So how would you incorporate using Swissvax Autobahn when polishing your wheels? Should you still use the special soap or Swissvax by itself? Also, do you really need a buffing device? Thanks

I would apply swissvax autobahn as the last step.

can you clarify what you mean by using special soap?

p21s polishing soap is a metal polish type product, what exactly did you need are your wheels in good shape if they don't need much work, I would just wash then apply the Swissvax Autobahn.
