Can anyone here tell me if there is a good way to keep break dust off chrome wheels? It takes about 20mins of driving my wheels get dirty from road dust :(

Is there a good product out there to prevent this? Poorboys Product line has some "Wheel Sealant" anyone know whether this will do the job?

I been using Mothers chrome polish so far, it makes it shine but not that good, also for those who use Clearkote, can that wax be used on chrome wheels or is it just body, windows? thank u!

Poorboy's wheel sealant is meant to make your life easier when cleaning your wheels. You won't have to fight as hard to remove the brake dust. I'd give it a shot if I were you.

I use Mother's chrome polish on my exhaust tips. That'll clean em up...

No paint care product is going to prevent brake dust from getting on your wheels. You need to use a different brake pad that produces less dust.

After i'm finished polishing the chrome wheels on my F150, I always use a thin coat of pure carnauba wax. I never use any wheel cleaner, just the soap and water left over after i'm finished washing it with a mitt I only use for cleaning the wheels. They clean up very easily and I get to spend more time with the Cobra:)
