    Rim protection suggestions

    I just purchased some new drag rims for my Mustang and they are polished aluminum. What coating would you suggest to protect them from oxidation and brake dust? Im on a budget and dont want to spend an arm and leg on some of the high end coatings. Thank you!

    Re: Rim protection suggestions

    I would do Opti-coat. Works extremely well and it's an indefinite protection for your wheels.

    If not that, try Meguiar's Brake Dust Barrier. Here's my review on it:

    If not that, you can use sealants but they don't really last.

    Thank you everyone. I guess I'll give opti-coat a shot.
