Great stuff. Seems to hold up well. Hard to find, though.
Klasse All In One (AIO) is a very popular choice for clearcoated wheels as its an acrylic polymer sealant combined with a chemical cleaning agent and a light abrasive. So it does a good job at removing embedded brake dust and road grime and leaves a durable finish.
Normal carnauba waxes do not fare well on wheels due to their low evaporation temps. As soon as the wheels get hot the wax evaporates and you're left with little protection. Polymer sealants have a much higher evap temp point so they can withstand the abuse a wheel gets. Plus they hold up better to road grime, dirt, grease, oil, road salt, etc.
I guess the bottom line is any wax or sealant on the wheels is better than none. If you don't want to find a dedicated product, use whatever you've got for the paint and it should be OK. But if you want something durable you now know what to look for.
I hope all this helps. Happy Wheel Polishing!!!
