Are you waxing your brake calipers? Just unsure what to do - would like to put a little wax on to keep the brake dust from pitting them.

Wheel Wax should work out for you or using a sealant would do too.

Chemical Guys Wheel Sealant is a great product, it will certainly help keep your calipers nice. To be quite honest, any sealant will work well.

Good to know

Also a good tip - If you clean your wheels and seal them regularly you won't have to use wheel cleaners which strip wax. The best thing you can do is wash the wheels with soap and water. Because even spraying the wheel cleaner is bound to get on the caliper and wheel cleaners will strip protection.
