Any recommendations for a wheel wax? (available at a Pep Boys or Advanced Auto...)

I've started using Eagle One Wax as You Dry...
After cleaning the wheel with Dupont Wheel Cleaner (supposedly gives wheels Teflon protection), I simply spray it on while the wheel is wet and then just wipe off. I just started using this combo recently and it seems to work well. I think it helps cut down the amount of brake dust that sticks to the wheels.

I haven't found it's worth the effort
it was a little easier to clean the first time, but no different the second time. The difference in cleaning ease was not worth the effort of waxing the wheels.

I disagree. I clayed and waxed mine in spring when I
put them back on for the summer in March and its been a night and day difference this year when cleaning the wheels. I've been a bit behind in keeping up with my car this year due to a 10 week old baby and I didn't wash my car for about 3 months. Ughhh! When I finally got around to cleaning it the wheels came out as clean as the day I waxed them. And these wheels are the stock BBS ones which are a PITA to clean. Or were last year. I used Blitz wax on mine though so YMMV.

All I can say is, do NOT buy the stuff called "Wheel Wax".
It is overpriced, it will separate in the container and be impossible to mix back together, and it does nothing that an ordinary car wax can't do just as well.
