Brake Dust

What is a good product to protect chrome wheels for longer than a day

Waxing/sealing your wheels is a great way to start! However if you want something easier that'll keep them looking fairly clean for a while, look into Armor All Wheel protectant. I've used it and it works well, just a tad expensive at 9 dollars a can and a can works on like 8 wheels.

I've noticed the amour all wheel protectant clouds up the chrome when dried. It does an ok job of keeping brake dust off but I can't stand the cloudy look. Are you seeing the same?

I hear waxing doesn't last long because normal car wax can't withstand the heat. Is there a particular type of wax and/or seal works best? Thanks

OR

Collinite 845 (old school sealant-wax legendary for reliability, saw some comparos where it lasts longer on wheels than dedicated "wheelwax" type products)

I have used both with good results.

Normal car wax will only last 4-6 weeks on your paint, so maybe 4-6 days on your wheels.

Just applied the Wolf's rim shield to a clients car last week and it will go on the GT when it arrives.
