Advice on HRE maintenance needed....coastal location

Hey guys,

My HRE's will be arriving next week. Centers are brushed/clearcoat. No clearcoat on lips. I live off of A1A on the coast. What will I need to do , if anything, to maintain the wheels in excellent condition. I wash the car every 1-1and a half weeks.

Thanks

I am a Zaino wax user. What I did was apply the wax to the wheels whenever I waxed the car.. It keeps them very shiny and slick. Brake dust just wipes off and makes the wheels very easy to clean. My $0.02...

Apply wheel sealant and things of that sort, and pray rock chips won't come by anytime soon.

Fast Cars!
You can use a wax or Zaino on the wheel centers. On the lip, i would only say to use Mothers Incrdible billiet polish. If you do both often your wheels will always look new.
