There are all manner of products, including anything that you'd use on paint. There's a product called Wheel Wax that you might be thinking of, but since wheels get hot and carnauba wax melts at around 200 degrees F, it's not exactly a durable product. Many of us use a sealant on our wheels and Armor All Wheel Protectant on top of that, it's been the only thing that keeps the wheels semi-clean for weeks, at least that I've found.

Great reply, but may I correct him in saying carnuaba has a melting point of around 180 degrees. Armor All Wheel Protectant is some AMAZING stuff and I use it on my own wheels as well as customer's wheels all the time.

Carnuaba based wheel protectants do help, but with synthetic products being easier to apply, quicker to apply, and potentially lasting a bit longer while keeping your wheel cleaner (sealants usually have a slicker feel to them than waxes), I think your best best is a sealant.
