Wheel Wax on GP Wheels

Has anyone tried Wheel Wax on their GP Wheels? What was the result?

I had previously used Wheel Wax on my BBS wheels with great results. Made wheels much easier to keep clean. However, I am a little worried about using the Wheel Wax on the black parts of the GP wheels because it does not appear that there is any clear coat over the black. I am concerned that white wax residue might be left on the black and be hard to remove.

usually the residue is only left on rubber and plastic trim pieces. i would try posting in the Detailing 101 section.

If any of the detail guys have a good response let us know about it here (I for one would be interested in the findings... and I'm not on all the forum sections - mostly the GP forum)

Don't use it - it's a PITA to get WheelWax off the GP wheels. I will never use it again on my GP.

Thanks for letting me know about your experience. That is exactly what I was worried about.
