I paint the centers of my track wheels every year with a new color, (white 87 911 coupe with fuchs). Red/Blue/Orange.....?

i have been using porterfield track pads

I do clean the car when I get home , but the paint gets embedded with brake dust very quickly. No polish, compound, cleaner or any type can remove it.

My original white wheels were quite resistant to this, I think they were repaints ( mechanic said so because the centers were painted to the rim).

I accept they will need repaints due to the inevitable nicks from torquing and transport, but I would like them to look good for more than the amount of time it took me to mask them.

Any thoughts on what to do to prevent this from a painting/ curing perspective?
I might have only let them cure for a week. I rattled canned them with custom filled laquer, followed by some clear (typically).

Would a thin film of vaseline help or or wax? or longer cure?
