Wheels and Chrome

The alloys on our S-class get dirty very quickly. As soon as you drive it after its been washed the dirt starts building up. Is there anything that can be applied to the wheel to keep it clean for longer. Or is there a product (available in Australia) that i can simply apply and spray.

Also how do you get the water marks off the chrome badges and trimmings and the grill. I find this to be very difficult.

Thanks

There is really no product that helps repel brake dust on the wheels, but you can apply a wax or preferably a sealant on the wheels so cleaning is easier. Any mild wheel cleaner (use them after the brakes have cooled) will work. I don't know what you have in Australia, but I would recommend P21S wheel cleaner. Find something that is non-acidic, preferably water based. Car wash and water work well too.
