you don't need to use it on every wash.
IMO i only use it on high-end wheels, or wheels with a LOT of brake dust build-up. i really liked the gel after i used it on a M5 which drove on a road that wasn't completely dried yet, and got tar all over the wheels and wheel wells. i sprayed on the wheel gel VERY liberally, went to have lunch, came back, and agitated it with a EZ detail brush and it came right off like butter!
Meg's wheel brightener (which is acid) didn't even take the stuff off!!!
