Allow me to translate:

I read somewhere that it is a good idea to clean the wheels and then apply a ceramic finish to both the front and rear wheels. The width of the rims on my Volvo V90 is rather large and if this advice is a good idea, what would be the ideal product?

However I am unable to update the thread title which I believe should read: Alloy Wheels and Ceramic - oh, I have no idea what the hell that’s supposed to say!

You are a pearl amongst swine, in fact a mench.

I was in a hurry to post this and fat fingers and small smartphone keypad created that mishmash.. TBH i cannot remember what heading i put..lol, thanks for doing the spellcheck

Just to reiterate

Does applying a ceramic polish on alloy wheels make it easier to remove brake dust etc. and what would they recommend.?

If i get as many recommendations as the 'witty' replies i will be most grateful.

It does help clean them, I have never tried a ceramic coating but something like GTechniq wheel armour is often recommended.
There are lots to choose from though all doing a similar thing, Garage Therapy make some nice products too and have a dedicated wheel coating called Hades.
They must be very clean before applying any coating.

We have 'Durabrite' wheels on our trucks, specially treated shiny alloy .https://www.alcoawheels.com/europe/en/surface-treatments/

Have tried both wax polish and ceramic coat on the tractor wheels, whilst the ceramic coat did help stop general road film build up in the wheels i found brake dust more difficult to wash off with ceramic applied.

Found similar on the standard alloys on our cars, the ceramic didn't really help much, a coat of Poorboys wheel wax seemed better.

Only my opinion and far from an expert.
