Default Technically, polymer sealants are supposed to withstand higher temps...

like those experience by rims heated up by hard working brakes, but personally, I've used both polymer sealants (Zaino) and carnauba waxes on my rims and haven't noticed any difference.

The Wheel Wax that TR sells was OK, but you can probably get something cheaper locally that'll work just as well.
