yep i'd suggest a couple of coats of Poorboys and a couple of coats of a wax and that should do them for half a year or so, with just a shampoo wash required in between. If you use the bilberry wheel cleaner or a similar product it will strip the wax and sealant so wash with shampoo unless you are planning on re-sealing and waxing  :happy2:

I'm using Britemax Extreme Elements for the wheels, and have to say that give them a blast with a jet wash and there's not much in the way of dust left.

Ideally you'd leave a sealant for as long as possible before removing so that it can properly bond.
