Default protecting my 949racing wheels

hey guys I just got the nickel 949's I used to have the black ones but switched. With these being shinny and brake dust and such could stick to them, what do you recommend putting on them to protect and clean them?



btw- it's not coated, it's a nickel paint.

I use Swissvax Autobahn wheel Wax on most high end cars. It is very very expensive for the amount but idealy the best.

My other suggestion is the Smart wax Wheel wax. Cheap and simple solution.

I ordered the "wheelwax" stuff. If you posted sooner I would of ordered the swissvax autobahn wheel wax. Is that stuff "better" then the wheel wax or are they about the same? besides price?

Make sure that you only use car-soap and water to clean your wheels after you protect them, otherwise you will be stripping the protection off and start back off at square one.

If these are on a tracked car whatever you apply will have to be redone fairly regularly to maintain their appearance due to the severe use. I would apply a sealant over the wax to extend the life of protection.
