Keep you a bottle of Dupont Teflon Wheel Cleaner (I swear by that stuff) and that will help keep the brake dust off.
i clear coated them when i first finished and tried in every way to make the look good
but it took away from the finish so much it was stupid
ended up having to start over on that wheel
everyone in the polishing thread on ht said not to clear them too but i tried it
no good
