stuf to put on my set of winter wheels, to repel grime ?

Here's the situation, i have wheel set for winter and rims for summer time, so this year like every year i painted the winter set, it looks good and all, yet i wonder if i could put something on em to help repel grime, as it 's PITA to clean in spring, especially the inside part.............would silicone be a good idea, or would it in fact etch in the pain, and then make the paint flake after some time ? i thought about waxing them, yet it s no car paint so i dont know which would be best, or maybe there s simply nothing to be done about it, but still i prefer asking just in case


the pursuit of perfectionism is a living hell, at least in my case it is
lol

I would use Klasse, it seem to be about as durable as anything, and I have had no problems using it. (others seem to have) Other wise any synthetic should work. Wax just will not last thru the winter on weels. IMHO

I've always considered a rubber peelable paint, the kind they use in spray booths, where you roll it on and it hardens but peels off when you want.

like I said never tried it


I use Rain-X Wheel protectant over Klasse, I really like the combo if you can find it
