Or just buy them pre done and use dawn to clean the wax out on the ones you want to try something different but I think it's like a additional $20. Or just do them yourself.

If you need to get your polishing down, do that before venturing into testing. First things first bro.
Work on your polishing on some stock wheels until you are comfortable with the process. Much cheaper than ruining a good set.
I've never had good luck changing waxes on a set of wheels. Seems like if I start with a wax I have to stick with it.
Any body else have this same issue?

I've only tried a handful of waxes, but no, no problem switching them out. I clean the bores with 90% IPA and go to town.

Wax (waeks) slang. To defeat decisively; drub. "We waxed the competition".
Yeah, I'd say he waxes!

I don't. It doesn't mean that I haven't. And I had a hard time stacking stuff in wheelbores. ☺

KGL - polishing wheels are probably the one thing I need to really work on. I think if a person can do good wheel prep over and over, you can beat a lot of racers. I have a bunch of old wheels that I have practiced on to try and get my polishing/waxing method down. Doing lots of wheel bore polishing/waxing is something that practice makes perfect.
Okay... so on the topic of wheels.....
When I remove my wheels from a car, I will wash them with a car wash soap... and have always waxed them again before putting them back on.
Do y'all do the same? Or do you not find it necessary to re-wax (depending on the inspection of the wheel)?
And another question... How often do you guys go back to step one (Q-Tip polish)?

you'll most likely ruin the wheel if you go back to step 1, I have slowed a few wheels don thinking this is what it needed.

I never go back to step one unless I'm trying to save a wheel, which rarely happens. I usually just turn that wheel into a test wheel and get a new set of wheels.
