White wheels: seeking recommendations on both paint and cleaner
I'm about to inherit a 2005 Cayenne base.
I want to repaint both the body and the wheels.
I would like to paint the wheels white but I know that brake dust will be more apparent on white wheels which means more frequent wheel cleaning.
I'm looking for recommendations on both a paint that will withstand frequent cleanings as well as a wheel cleaner that will not compromise the paint with frequent use.
Any recommendations?
TIA

Powder coat instead of paint is what you want. Then use a ceramic coat to protect the finish. Apply a couple coats if you have leftover and time. Then you should be able to clean with just soap and water, or even a strong jet of water. Maybe in fall, remove the wheels, clean them and re-coat.

If I had it to do again, I would put ceramic on top of the powder coat. Wheels on my current GT4 are ceramic coated and even track brake dust and rubber deposits come off with regular car soap and water.
