Default Wheel Detail Question

I pulled the wheels off the car for a thorough cleaning...

I am curious to know if there is a product to apply to the inside of the wheel walls to keep them cleaner? I reason if the cylinder wall surface were slicker, then less dust would adhere and rinse off.

Getting ready to paint the calipers tomorrow... I post up pics later.

Absolutely! Get a high quality paint sealant and apply it to the inside of your wheels once they are clean. I would go with one known for it's durability like . . .

i also use a spray type wax on the wheel wells when they are clean (wash them first with a long handled brush and car shampoo... can use some citrus cleaner like an engine cleaner if you need to ) - and kinda spray it all over... just be careful around the brakes.
