if you wax them when they are clean there is nothing wrong with it. i do that to mine too.

Lsport- I dont know if the Dronells that you have are the same chrome finish as the CA-05 that I have, but the Meguiairs Quick Wax (spray bottle) is all I use on mine other than soap and water. I used some other wax on them (Turtle Wax Chrome polish) on them, and it made them a little hazy!

The spray wax is perfect on them, leaves that deep luster!!

D,
the wheels are off the car for the winter so im waxing them inside and out...i started already, using turtle wax and it leaves a nice slippery feeling surface... with a nice shine i might add... seems like no brake dust is gonna stick to these wheels!! When you waxed your wheels what kind of haze are you talking about??? im hoping i dont run into that problem...

I just noiticed that a couple weeks after i polished them with the Turtle Wax chrome polish, they did not have the same "depth" in the shine!

The last time I was there, u had a Dronell CA-05 in ur shop, do u still have it there? If so just polish a small section of it with chrome polish and see what happens
