I've used the Krown stuff--it comes in an aerosol can, too.
Whatever you spray on there, make sure you clean it off your brakes (especially if they are discs) before you try to drive it.

One winter, I had to put my open trailer outside my shop under a tarp; sprayed its chrome steel wheels with WD40. Washed trailer & wheels in spring and they were fine. I was thinking maybe WD-40 might be an option. Probably what I will try since I already have a can.

.fluid film in a spray bomb. I agree with Fluid Film. Wont wash off as easy, like WD40. Grab a can at Lowes.

Take care not to let your tires sit on the ground without some kind of barrier between the tire and the earth. I've used galvanized sheet metal, plastic sheets and concrete stepping stones.

Whatever you spray on there, make sure you clean it off your brakes (especially if they are discs) before you try to drive it. The Krown stuff is like spraying vegetable oil on something. I had two cars done with Krown - after a short while, the stuff rinsed right off. It does not set-up any kind of film. Very unimpressed with Krown.
