Wheel protectant for Silver wheels

First, I searched!! No clear answers..

Looking for a product preferably but not mandatory to leave the wheel on. the car. Hyper Silver AG 359's. For some reason theyve been getting dirty very easily.

Any ideas?

I would like to know as well. I clean my silver rims and then 2-3 days later they are horrible.

Do you have OEM brake pads ? I do and my rims collect a lot of brake dust.

If you put wheel sealant on, or clean the wheels regularly, just some car soap and a microfiber gets the dust off. I just mention this because since SONAX and P21S are expensive

Oh and I've used Blackfire Wet Diamond on the wheels instead of buying the Poorboys, so you can use a sealant you have around the house.

Agree. I have used Armorall wheel spray and I've also tried quick detailer after a thorough cleaning. They both make future cleaning a little easier.

Like you, I have a spray bottle with water and soap for once-a-week cleaning. Gets most of the dirt off.

that Sonax stuff is awesome but I can't afford to use it every time.
