    Any suggestions for protecting a powder coated wheel from brake dust?

    I have a white powder coated wheel. I have tried sealants and coatings. What happens is the brake dust (esp on the fronts) turn the color a light rust type color. I use a dilluted Optimum Power Clean and it cleans it off, but is there anything else I could do? I have used sealants, coatings, toppers with Hydro, but it is still the same result. Are any of the protectants targeted for wheel use any better? Thanks!

    Nothing that I can think of. Waxes, sealants & coatings will protect the surface from the brake dust but nothing in my experience will stop the brake dust from landing on the wheel surface. Obviously keeping them waxed, sealed or coated will make it easier to clean though but thats the best I have for you sorry mate.
