Hey I have 845 and wheel wax, but was wondering if I could use 845 as a sealant since it has long lasting attributes. If not I'll just stick to wheel wax.

I have used Colli 845 on my wheels, however I would recommend Colli's 476 instead. From my experience, it is definitely more durable, and I believe that it can be more effectively be layered.

because 476 is a paste, it tends to be slightly more durable but is harder to apply/remove
but it is still a carnauba wax so i would not recommend on using it on the wheels even though collinite tends to take on a moderate amount of heat alright

I don't think the point is that it would be unsafe.
Rather, the question is whether it may evaporate or wear away so fast that it's not worth the elbow grease.
I would argue though, the hood/top of a black car on a hot sunny day will get as hot if not hotter then the wax layer on your rims.
Give it a try. Do one side with one product, other side with the other, let us know of any differences.

nothing scientific, but I've been using Collinite 885 paste on the OEM wheels of my cars (Lexus and Audi) for about 8 years now and its pretty durable and have not had any issues.
