Keeping chrome wheels clean

Is there anything I can spray or wipe on my chrome wheels to repel dirt and grime to help keep them nice and clean?

I just used a product called Rim-Ice for chrome wheels. All I can say is WOW! The smooth finish left behind is really impressive. They do have a web site that I just saw on my bottle. www.rim-ice.com

On my first car i had those cheap chrome wheels that american racing sells, and I used rain-x on them. That really seemed to help repel a lot of dirt and water spots. Ive also heard a good wax is good for repeling dirt and spots.

Easiest via the site probably since they seem to be a young company growing in the Atlanta area. I got mine at a car show. It isn't cheap stuff but I will get more if the shipping isn't too bad. Buying two bottles at once will help out.

I use meguiars hot rims chrome wheel cleaner when I wash the car. Spray it on, let it sit, and hose it off. If you've got accumulated dust/crap on the rims - spray it on, use a soft bristle brush and scrub the wheels, then hose it off. Works really well if you keep up with them and use it often when you wash the car.
