Default Wheel Polish/Wax

I have an 07 RX350 and the polish/wax that the dealership used on the wheels has held up well and washing them has been pretty easy. I was wondering.... with them being painted (coated?), what do you use to polish or wax them?

I prefer a paint sealant 3-4 times a year. I follow after regular weekly washing with Quik Wheel Detailer to keep them slick and easy to keep clean. I don't use any harsh wheel or tire cleaners as they will remove the sealant or wax.

You can find wheel wax at just about any auto parts store or your local detailing shop. I get mine from online vendors.

Default Wheel Polish/Wax

When I purchased snows mounted on alloy wheels from the Tire Rack, it came with a sample pack of Griot's Garage wheel cleaner, sealer, applicator, and polishing rag. Needless to say, I was very impressed with the wheel cleaner, and the sealer. The sealer would last through the winter. When the snows come off, clean them up, and re-apply the sealer.
I have since re-ordered the larger sizes from the Tire Rack, and they are pricey, but they work.
