There is no cure!
third thread today!
until about 2 months ago i was using wheelsealant all the time. would clean my wheels with soapy nxt and my tires and wheels would look awesome. after about 3 weeks tho they werent soo easy anymore and begean to accumulate brakedust. now this isnt WS's fault. i would wash/spray and wipe my wheels 3 times a week so im sure that added to the loss of duabilty, and im sure, just like other waxes/selants/ect would do in a situation such at the wheels (tons of heat, corroding Brakedust, ect) u would need to reapply another coat or start off with more than one layer.
this i found really hard considering i didnt like having to reach into the spokes of the wheels and then having to buff off.
i picked up some mothers FX spray wax thinking of it like a qd. had a nice red bottle which quickly brought it to my attention. as reading the bottle i noted that it can be used on a wet car, so i immedaitly thouhgt to use it in place of my spray and gloss while drying.
it did an "ok" job when it came to the finsih... since its probably primarily polymer/silicone it gave a bright shiney look that didnt favor my carnuba i had on it. so i bumped it down to wheel use. at the time i had cleaned the wheels with spray/rinse 1:3 and was contemplating if or when i would apply the wheelsealant again. so for the moment i left the mothers fx spray wax for wheel duty.
boy did it brighten my metallic flake almost to the extent wheelsealnt did. then if that wasnt enough, it was just as slick and kept the brakedust off just like WS did. now ive been using it after everywash, not really worrying the strength of my wheelcleaner, and i must say, its a lot easier FOR ME to just use mothers fx spray wac on the wheels than it is do apply another layer of WS every 4 weeks.
u guys should give it a try . 2-3 full mists per wheel, and then follwoing with a damp mf to wipe off the water.
