Coat them before install! Or a cheaper easy way to seal them is Hydro...

I personally coated my wheels.. stays cleaner longer and as easy to clean as the paint.

Do the barrels too!

I like 22ple coatings (22ple VM1), carpro cquartz would also be very good!

It makes brake dust a non issue! (Cleaning it that is) no magic to eliminate brake dust except lo dusting pads. But there are excellent wheel cleaners for severe embedded brake dust.

With a coating and proper washing regimine, you will not have problems with break dust.

NO... $114L (1 Gallon of spray sealant)

Keep in mind this stuff is concentrated dilute 1 part Hydro to 3 part water... so in a 32oz spray bottle:

the 100ml bottle for 19.99 will make enough sealant to do your wheels many times over!

plus I have discount pricing, haha
