If I wanted to seal my wheels, could I just put on some sealant such as WG DGPS? Or do I need a dedicated wheel sealant?

Never used that product, but I'm sure you'll be fine

Test it out and report back your findings

I stopped using dedicated wheel sealants because I find them to lack durability. I usually use Collinite 845 or UTTG. But the WGDGPS should work great!

My fav:

DP Wheel Glaze cleans and protects all types of wheels! Durable wheel polymer wax coating protects wheels from brake dust adhesion and corrosion. (http://www.autogeek.net/dp-wheel-glaze.html)

I've been using Poorboys wheel sealant. It works incredible and smells fantastic.

+3 on the 845, I love the durability and dust and dirt just won't stick to it.

Use some opti-coat and wait 5 years to do it again.

+4 for collnite 845. Its what I use on my personal car. For custmors and daily drivers I use what ever wax I am trying to use up. Right now its meg nxt 2.0. I don't like this stuff to much. After that I will start using up my sample wax. For my purposes of detailing collnite 845 and 3m performance finish are my go to waxes. I am trying opti coat 2.0.

I just put on new ceramic pads and rotors on my car and I went on a 250mile drive. Half highway, but the other half was canyon carving. I was a bit mad to see how black my wheels where. Haven't had a chance to clean them yet. I smelt so much brake dust during my drive.

I'll be interested to hear about your brake dusting. I have about 40K on my brakes and was thinking about ceramics to reduce dusting. What brand?
