Wheel Wax

Has anybody heard of WHEEL WAX? The Tire Rack advertisement in Road & Track says that it actually repels brake dust. Has anybody used this?

Thanks

i don't know about any wax repelling brake dust. i use some eagle one carnauba that i have lying around. it works well, dust doesn't stick, but you still have to clean it. i use one of those "spritz and wipe" car cleaners weekly until the effect wears off then i clean and wax again...

I've tried waxes, sealants, glazes, poly this, silicone that, carumba this or that, electo static repeller whatever----on chromie OE wheels and by-product brake dust always adheres and accumulates (admittedly to a lesser degree vs. without these substances)
