I wax my rims too, so the brake dust won't bond to the paint

how about waxing them? that's what i'm gonna try to do this summer. may protect from salts, etc in the winter, and may make them shiny!

go wash them with meguiers.....lather that bitch up nicley(well not me, someone else i get to do it for me)
then pressure wash it...use a towel to dry em
then get the old meguiers silver aluminum cleaner and wax it, until its black and then towel dry it up....looks fresh...and nice and neat
