If you regularly drive the car, they’re such a boon to keeping the car looking clean.

I wouldn’t pay new Porsche take off prices for them but you can regularly find a good condition set for sale on the marketplace for $8k to $10k.
I'll also add rust on rotors after washing. Yes, there are products to help with this, but I spend 30 mins washing my wheels every week, then drive down road to clear off rust, then manually wiping down barrels of each wheel is another near 30 mins process to get them looking perfect. First application of brakes on first drive is immediate dust. For this reason alone, PCCB's or Surface Transforms are worth it if you have the $10k to spare.

I did buy stuff to prevent rotors from rusting recently, but haven’t tried it out yet. Got it for my 964 Cup which is one of the only cars I have that has steel rotors as ceramics didn’t exist for road cars back then. Others have ceramic or drum brakes. Used to drive up and down the driveway doing a few stops to get rid of the accumulated rotor rust. Cleaned up the wheels a bit afterwards. Hopefully the stuff I got will save me the hassle of doing all this.

I've been using Hydes Serum since it was launched over 10 years ago. It helps a lot, but will still have some. Matt from Obsessed Garage just started selling Bilt Hamber Atom Mac which is supposed to be a bit better. May pick some up next season. Keep me posted how you like it.

That’s the stuff I got. Curious to see how it works out.
