In the past, I've always had alloys that are shiny silver paint, so have given them a good coat of wax to help keep the brake dust from staining them.
I've just bought a brand new set of satin black wheels for my other halfs mid life crisis. I want to do something to help preserve the finish as long as possible, but don't want to do anything that might screw up the finish on them. Any advice?

Re: wheels
sadly, my cunning plan failed. these rims show up brake dust much worse than the silver ones
