    What do you use on your highly polished rims to protect between washes, etc?

    My Porsche highly polished wheels collect awful brake dust straight away - what do you all use to combat keeping these types of wheels clean longer between washes? Graphene? Ceramic? Sprays? I tried Adams Graphene coating but that didn't seem to last very long.

    I ordered Carpro Hydro Lite, will give that a go in hopes it will keep em fairly clean longer, looking into 303 Graphene Spray as well.
    Thanks

    Ceramic coating w occasional hit of POLISHANGEL SuperSport along with the acceptance that Porsche wheels stay truly clean about as long as a freshly washed black car in pollen season.

    Which Ceramic coating is best? Particularly rims for heat - Gyeon? Carpro DLUX?

    I shoot mine with Gyeon Wet Coat. Seems to help with cleaning.

    Are the wheels bare aluminum? Or clear coated alloy?

    Looks to be similar in finish to our Carrera Classic wheels; painted/clear coated & polished/clear coated:



    I’ve used Kamikaze Stance for years but others like things like Gtechnic Wheel Armour & 22ple made a nice one with VM1. Not sure what’s up with 22ple though…always seem to be outta stock.
