Sealing/waxing your wheels makes a big difference not only in how easy they are to clean up but also in looks. I put some DP Wheel Glaze on my wheels every couple of months and also after every wash I apply a spray sealant or spray wax.

I agree with the comments about the wheel wax. I had the same issues when I was using the PB's stuff - going on WAAAAY too thick. Once I backed off, it worked much better.

The ZAIO went on incredibly easy. I basically applied it like I would a sealant but with a MF cloth. I let it sit a minute and then wiped it off. I was pretty skeptical when I was told to try this as I didn't think it would hold up to the heat. However, I was wrong as it has lasted better than anything I have put on the wheels. In addition, it also looks incredible.

Will this discolor aftermarket wheels such as Bronze CE28n ?

I've always polished my wheels. It really makes a huge difference in cleaning and the look.

APEX...I would not think that this would cause a problem with your bronze wheels. I used Klasse AIO on powder coated wheels on my other car and have never seen any problems. If you have to be 100% sure, try it on a small area first like anything else.

Considering between getting Wheel Wax or DP Glaze from autogeek. Both are highly recommended. Has anyone used Wheel Wax? its a buck more expensive..
whatever is better.

So should I apply a coat of Acrylic Jett Trigger to the wheels? Or would I want to use Prime? Or even both? (though I'm not sure about using the Carnauba Prime...??)

I've used both and personally I prefer the DP Wheel Glaze. It seemed to last longer and left a slicker surface.

You would want to start with Prime. The polishing power of Prime will help to remove any residual brake dust and road grime. You can then follow up with Trigger for longer lasting protection.

You can use the carnauba version if that's all you have, but the acrylic version will likely last much longer.

That was my initial thought. One of these days I'll place another order and end up with pretty much the whole Werkstatt line.
