What's the best stuff to use to keep these wheels looking like this? I am looking for low maintenance after applying the product. I also have some high dusting brake pads(for now) I have searched for any thread using wheel without any luck so I think the search feature is messed up. 30076 thanks

To clean/wash wheels w/heavy brake dust (like most German vehicles), I use SONAX Wheel Cleaner, all wheel cleaner, chrome wheel cleaner, aluminum wheel cleaner, full effect wheel cleaner (http://www.autogeek.net/sonax-wheel-cleaner.html).

For sealant (apply every 6 mos), I use Poorboy’s Wheel Sealant: Protective sealant that improves & maintains the appearance of wheels. wheel protection, poorboys wheel wax (http://www.autogeek.net/pbws.html).

I have opti-coat 2.0 on my chrome wheels. I use a rinseless wash at-least once a week, super easy, 2-3 mins a wheel. Also check out Cquartz, its probably easier to apply.

You might want to take a look at CarPro Hydro2. It is as easy as spray on, spray off, instant protection. My daily driver produces a lot of brake dust and I noticed after application, cleaning them has been very easy.

This, I always Opti-Coat my wheels. You really need to remove them from car to prep and apply correctly. Soap and water to clean after application no need for chemicals.
