We wax our cars but can we wax our wheels?

Greetings,
Before I changed the wheels on my W123, I used Kleen wheels to keep the brake dust to a minimum. Now that I have stopped using those wheels, I have had to stop using the Kleen wheels. Even with washing my car almost every week, brake dust has managed to "burn" itself into some very minor spots. Is there anyway I could preserve them and make clean up easier by applying car wax to my polished wheels? Or, do they make some kind of wheel wax or protectant film? (they're the stock CLK wheels of around 1999) Thanks for the advice. After 20 years of use, my old wheels accumlated a lot of "permanent" dark spots caused by brake dust and only semi-frequent car washings.

Alex
