Do you have trick to keeping your wheels from turning blackish between washes? Wax them?

Wash them as regular. Then use a sealant on them. Part of it will depend on your wheels' finish, but most are painted metal, so a sealant (synthetic wax) works very well. While it will never keep brake dust off of wheels, it does help some and makes it far easier to clean them each wash. My wheel steps are pretty easy.

Magic Eraser all dirt off. Wipe with a quick detailer to make sure completely clean. Quick step of putting sealant on each wheel. Wipe off.

2009 Honda Civic Type R. Had it for 18 months and loving it.
 
We have an '02 BMW 325i (the fiance's daily drive), I have an old 1985 Jaguar XJ6 which sometimes likes to run but mostly sits in the garage but my Daily 'drive' is a Yamaha XT660Z Tenere motorbike. Motorcycles are the other great passion in my life and I could never stand to have to drive a car to work every day.

I have to say I love my minivan to, it's great for hauling the family around... My second son was born today at 12:27 pm so we definitely need the van now!

Thanks! I loved that car and put a lot of work into it to make it perform the way I thought an AMG should perform and I wish I still had it... Maybe in a few years I'll be able to get my dream AMG the CL65... Fingers crossed lol

2012 Volvo C30 in ice white. Fun little turbo. Got rid of my 07 ram 1500 big horn. daily commute was killing me.
 
I picked up a BMW 535i about a month ago. I had a truck before and decided to go back to a car. I love it. It has the sporty feel and still has plenty of room for the car seat in the back. I don't miss my truck a bit right now.
