Default Current opinions on the best wheel wax for track wheels

Would like some recommendations for wheel coatings for track cars. Primary goal is protection from brake dust and easier cleaning.
I currently use and am happy with Klasse All-in-One, an acrylic, but wondering if there are better choices.
Easy to apply would be nice.

I was going to say that brake dust seems like a convenient choice because it's so very easy to apply. With liberal application it makes tire snots at least 10% easier to remove and gives a sporty matte finish. Then I saw that you don't seem to like it.

I like using Rejex. Very easy to apply and makes easier to remove the brake dust.

Thanks for suggesting Rejex, which I haven't used. I have heard good things about it.
Phil at Detailers Domain suggested Gyeon Rim, so I'll give that a try.

Just plastidip the wheels and don't worry about brake dust when tracking the car.
If not, Rejex works well

Rick, Don't bother ordering anything. I'll hook you up with some sealant that works great.

Jeez, why didn't I think of you? I forgot about your detailing business.
See you at Tremblant late May? Also planning July (Blues Festival), later July after Mosport (NNJR) then late September.
I may need to apply for citizenship.

Rick, come on in! The primary debates have had that unintended effect on many.

Well, you know I love Canadians, Canada, and their tracks.
Though minus 27 f at Tremblant yesterday seemed a bit much.
