Wheel Sealer
Does anyone use any good products to seal and protect the rims?, preferably something that prevents brake dust buildup and yellowing... I know there are hundreds of products out there but wondering if any are actually proven to work.

I used this armor all product:
Got it on sale at target for $5 figured worth a try. It does work and probably lasts 2-4 washes depending. If you don't apply evenly you definitely see the areas you missed getting dirty while the rest stays clean.
Word of caution I would not use with a white or light colored vehicle. Since the breakdust doesn't stick to the wheels it ends up on your read bumper panel and front door even, very noticeable. For this reason I wouldn't buy again, because even on the dark car don't like the idea of that much extra breakdust being on the paint.
I've also used paint sealant on wheels. Doesn't do as a good of a job, but makes a difference.

hmmmm I had not thought of the dust sticking on the paint... I ordered diamond white so it would be a disaster, will have to possibly put wax on the paint first and than seal the wheels?

Buddy - Einszett Glanzwax (Blue Top) one of the best German new gen tech "sealers" for your GL paint and great for the wheels too - starting with a clean new GL - very thin consistency (like water) - wipe on application - objective is to apply a thin even coat one section at a time - less than 5 minute dry time but I recommend 30 minute to set/cure - very easy to wipe off the haze - get a step ladder to do the roof - again best life result let cure for 30 minute.
You can add more visual depth, and extend re-application life by using any nano-carnuba spray on top of it every few weeks..
Affordability and no buffing a real plus/plus:
