    Wheel Wax/sealant vs. plain old carnuba

    Do i really need to purchase a specialty wheel wax/sealant instead of just putting some meguiars paste wax on my rims? I would think the normal carnuba wax would repel, or at least make it easy to take off any brake dust just like the more expensive products. Thanks.
