Wax for Wheels

I recently installed a set of American Racing Torq Thrust wheels with the painted spokes and the machined lips. I know I can use regular wax on the spokes but what should I use on the machined surfaces to help protect them?

Thanks

i dont mean to thread jack, but i have raw aluminum wheels that i use your metal polish #1 and #2 on. is there something i can seal those with to help keep them polished longer or to aid in polishing the next time? i use nothing but adams and completely satisfied with everything! Great products guys!

I would use Quick Sealant on those wheels as well.

Sealants will definitely give a better and longer lasting protection on wheels given the conditions they are subjected to that waxes will crumble under.
