Keeping brake dust off wheel

[korby05]

As the title states what is best to keep the wheels clean other than different brakes? I will eventually be getting EBC Greenstuff brakes but for now I've been using the armorall wheel protectant but living in PA it doesn't last very long. Especially in the winter

clean them, wax them, and that will help keep dust from sticking to the rim.

What Greygoose^ said. A good Wax is much more effective than any specialised wheel protectant I've seen.

I use a quick wax/detail spray on mine as well, it makes it much easier to just do a quick wipe down instead of re cleaning them all over again

If you're going to the trouble of waxing your wheels, make sure the product you choose can stand the high temps wheels sometimes see.
I use Nu-Finish. It stinks and doesn't look as good as a carnauba but it's easy to apply and buff off, cheap to use and lasts like crazy. I use it on our 32' trailer for the same reasons.

Is that what might cause oxidation on the wheels?

Brake dust will most certainly cause oxidation.

This works for me.

Everytime I change the oil I also rotate the tires, and clean and wax the rims (both inside and outside). Brake dust doesn't stick nearly as bad, and it wipes right off when I was the truck, no wheel cleaner needed.

Love my 22's, before i head to car wash, I grab my mit, bucket and soap and wash them by hand...then head to car wash. Then get home, clean and wax them every 4th time or so. 22's make it so easy to do backside

Don't use "WAX" use a sealant. Wax will be gone within a few miles of driving the vehicle.

Adams Quick Sealant is quick, easy and lasts and lasts. One can is good for MANY wheels or several vehicles.

When cleaning the wheels, use car shampoo in a spray bottle diluted with water. Wheel cleaner is PH acid so it eats your LSP.
