Any recommendations for inner wheel rim protection from brake dust, grime,.. etc?
Something that will last 6 months+ or indefinitely?
Mesh wheels make it hard, if not impossible, to get to the inside rim to clean it and I hate to use toxic/harsh chemical cleaners. Apart from removing the wheel, a brush is about it, but it is still hard to get at with (since once you get it through, you cannot really move it side to side). So I was thinking about a protectant/sealer, which would help protect the wheel from brake dust, grime,.. etc., and make it much easier to come clean. I've used Klasse AIO and SG in the past, but it doesn't last as long as it does on the paint. I was looking at <a href="http://www.liquitechtexas.com/products.html">Liqui-tech "Protector"</a>, <a href="http://www.lusterlace.com/">Luster Lace</a> "Luster Seal", or <a href="http://corrosionx.com/rejex.html">"Rejex"</a> by Corrosion Technologies. Any thoughts, experience, suggestions appreciated.

After cleaning, try using Kleen Wheels - they install on the inside of the wheel to prevent brake...
dust, etc. from coming through and contaminating your wheel. I just received two sets for my Audi A6 and VW Passat and will install them shortly. Best price I found is $29.90/pr from Automotive Accessories Connection, Garfield Hts, OH (1-888-425-2885). Free shipping if over $100, w/ a handling fee of only $5.90.
