Default Billet wheels and keeping them clean and protected

Well have some billet specities wheels going on my car, Now is there anything I can do to protect the finish from brake dust and crap before installing them? Like a clear coat or wax, And what would you recommend when i want to clean and make them look good? Aluminum polish? Thanks

Where can you get White Diamond Polish? And is that the only product you use or do you use a separte sealer?

I applied the stuff in the link below on my polished lips. Car is not garaged and has been rained on several times. Just wash them with soap and water still look just like the first day I polished them a few months ago.

blingmaster works great for polishing but it doesn't seal for crap...some paste polish over it should do the trick

Ive got some Billet Specialties wheels and I used Mothers polish on them along with Rejex to help seal them up. Seems to be working pretty well.
