Brake dust on chrome
I bought my car with new brakes so I can't switch to ceramic so what do you guys use on your chrome wheels to keep the dust from sticking to it?

Zaino, wipes right off with Z-6 if you have your wheels polished with Zaino.

I bought some Wheel Wax for my 350Z as the Brembos dust HEAVILY. I put 2 coats on the front and 1 on the rear as directed and can really tell the difference

Why can't you switch to ceramics? Or is it that you choose not to switch? You'll constantly cleaning your wheels if you don't go ceramics.

I just hate to waste new brakes that have a lot of wear left. I'm a serious environmentalist you know
