Alloy Wheel Care

I have a 2005 Corvette with clearcoat alloy wheels. Since I have no garage I will be storing the car under a Heavy Duty weathershild cover. How do I protect the Alloy wheels from Corrision over the winter months? Please recommend a treatment product.

There really isn't anything you can apply at home which will be of use. If the wheels are factory OEM, then you will probably find that they hold up just fine. The best thing you can do is to keep them clean and dry. They should last as long as does the paint on the car. Aftermarket, who knows?
