Default Yeah. Skip. Clean them well and use a synthetic sealant.

It's overpriced crap that won't last as long as a good synthetic sealant applied to a properly cleaned wheel.

Yeah, me too, but I was curious because the product is supposedly designed just for wheels, and to withstand heat. If it works like they say, it would make regular wheel appearance maintenance much easier. The people in this forum are obviously very into maintaining the appearance of our beloved Audis, and I just thought there might be someone here who knew if the product actually works or not.

Default BTDT. My routine now...

P21 Gel+P21 Polishing Soap+ 1Z Glanz wax! Then touch up w/Opt. Detail. All from DD. You can also use the polishing soap on tons of other things too!

Default I love the stuff.

I apply it probably once every two months. Never have to clean my wheels. Simply spray them off when I wash the car and they look brand new. You probably could get similar results with a quality sealant, but the wheel wax is without a doubt quality stuff too.
