I'm just curious if you wax/shine your inner-most lip of the rim because I wax everything but that, and it looks pretty damn dirty.
Also, how long does it take you to polish your rims?
It took me an hour altogether so I guess like 15 min a rim :( but it feels like FOREVER!

I usually wax the painted surface 2 times a year with Klasse AIO. It's super durable and makes cleaning a breeze. I also wax the inside once a year when I take the winter tires off. It probably takes me about the same amount of time that it take you. Maybe closer to 10 minutes, but that's really rushing it.

When I have my wheels rotated, I clean the inside of the wheel. As far as polishing them, all I do is wipe the wheels with a towel that I use to remove wax when I wax the car.

Only 2 times a year?? So Klasse AIO keeps dirt off the rims that long???
If so, holy crap where do I find some?

Well, it doesn't keep the dirt off, but it makes them much, much easier to clean. Klasse AIO is an acrylic sealant, so it will last much longer than a normal carnuba wax. Plus, it holds up well to heat.

I was just thinking, if you didn't want to order something online, give Meg's NXT wax a shot. That would probably hold up pretty well.

i waxed my whole wheel. i have the RSL ricochet's 18" white w/chrome lip and i waxed the whole thing. it does help a lot to do if you don't like scrubbing break dust off when you wash your car! i definately suggest trying it if you haven't already!
