Don't know how well this stuff works yet, but I've hard good things.
Actually, the ease or lack of, that I was talking about was about the nooks & crannies on the wheels themselves. Not seeing much brake dust so far. And the rims have a beautiful coat of clear-coat, so I'm not sure what waxing them would accomplish. Maybe in a year or so (?)

And yes, I've treated the front glass with Rain-X. This stuff is great. In fact, you really don't need wipers when the glass has been treated.... water just rolls off.
