I was thinking of scrubbing the tires real well removing all the tire shine this way the dust isn't to hard to get off in the spring. As for the rims I was going to use some type of wheel cleaner to clean the fronts and the back real well. After they were clean I was going to polish them with some sort of chrome polish and them seal them with some sort of sealant. My question is which products should I use to help protect my rims and tires for a few months. I have a good size collection of products but will always by some more if there is something you guys think is better for the job.

Thanks for your help,

on your tires... you can use straight APC and a brush.

for the rims, I would clean them with Meguires Chrome cleaner, polish I have heard good things about Surf City Chrome Killr. To seal them I would use Chemical Guys Jetseal, followed by a coat of Collinite 845IW.
