    Rim protection from brake dust

    Hello everyone, been out of the loop for a while and i have never owned a car that had a huge brake dust issue but was wondering what is a good recommendation to help cleaning brake dust off rims during my regular washes? . Wheel wax? Sealant? My camaro dusts the rims so bad i dread using the brakes after i clean the rims. I scrub them every week so nothing gets built up, but anything i can do to speed up the process would be great!

    Thanks!

    I know if there isnt a picture it didn't happen so here is my suspect in question

    It doesn't get much easier or more affordable than Sonax Rim Shield:

    Sweet Ride! I would look into a wheel coating. I've used PBL Wheel for about 1 1/2 years now great stuff.

    Gyeon Wet Coat after a good thorough iron decontamination. Just spray on Wet Coat and rinse off with pressure. Repeat once per month and you can simply rinse your wheels and blow them dry to remove brake dust.

    I'd look into a coating like Carpro Dlux or Gyeon Rim - there are many others too

    Give them a decent wash and a thorough decon. Polish (if needed) then coat.

    Then maintain with a something like Carpro Reset or Gyeon Bathe+, along with a product like Carpro Hydro or Gyeon Wetcoat.

    I have used both the Sonax product and McKee's Wheel coating. I find the McKee's product works a little better. The dust generally just rinses off.
