WheelWax is safe for all factory and aftermarket wheels - chrome, painted, anodized, polished aluminum or clear coated.
WheelWax is actually a polymer and contains no wax which would melt and cause wheels to attract more brake dust. The WheelWax formula contains an antistatic element that changes the surface polarity of the wheels to repel brake dust particles. Research has shown that brake dust is a negatively charged particle. The surface of the wheel has been shown to pick up a positive charge from wind rushing over the surface of the wheel. The antistatic element in the WheelWax keeps the wheel surface charged negatively. This breaks up the magnetic effect. When you use only WheelWax to clean your wheels, you will notice your wheels stay cleaner, longer over time.
WheelWax can be used on any metal appearance pieces including chrome, aluminum, and stainless steel. Shining your trim is so much easier because any WheelWax that you get on your paint will not leave a greasy spot. Instead, WheelWax creates a protective coating that you just let dry and wipe off when you buff your trim.

The special chemical formula in WheelWax lifts brake dust and other dirt off your wheels and onto your rag. You will be amazed by the shine of your own wheels!!
