A friend of mine told me that he heard that Blue Coral's liquid
protectant, the stuff with "Fomblin-A", is great for protecting
wheels from brake dust.  I'd never put the stuff on my car, but
I went out and got a bottle just for doing the wheels.  Of course,
it's much too early to tell what the results are...
