Great !!

Well you should get them anyway an put them on when you want to sell it.

Think I will leave my car covered in dirt at least that way it doesnt highlight rusty nuts on super clean wheels

Try putting a bit of waxoyl on your nuts (wheel nuts ) to stop corrosion. I think you can still get it in an aerosol.

I have had a can in the garage for years, bought for an old triumph restoration where everything is prone to rusting ! It is great for coating rust prone bits and pieces in the engine bay etc.

I would go along with that. I have a can tucked away in the garage. Good stuff and it leaves an almost invisible film on the metal/chrome surface.
