They'll look just as dirty, and MAYBE will be easier to clean. May depend on how your drive, but I don't think there is a clear coat that could take the heat from my spirited / track drives (most clear coats fall apart around 200F.) I don't think the ceramic coating on my wheels did anything or lasted either!After just one week, my polished wheels look like the upgraded satin graphite! Maybe I should just clearcoat them and run with it?

Did the same with Akebono ceramic pads on a Volvo and it helped but the harder pads meany longer stopping distances in my case.There are threads here with info about ceramic pads.
I swapped ceramic pads on a BMW I had years ago and the difference was astounding. I mean dust just disappeared.
That’s true, ceramic pads produce little to no dust, fantastic when it comes to that aspect. They also don’t squeal like a semi metallic pad. Ceramic pads also transfer more heat away from the pad and into your calipers and rotors so depending on how aggressive you are on the brakes you will add more wear to other components. The big issue is that you’re sacrificing stopping power. You will lose feet in stopping but more importantly they’ll glaze over after repetitive heaving braking.Did the same with Akebono ceramic pads on a Volvo and it helped but the harder pads meany longer stopping distances in my case.

Nothing but soap and water needed. Even after a track day.What are folks with CCBs using beside soap/water?
I had CCBs on my 22. I washed the wheels with regular car soap and a brush when I first bought it. Every other wash after that I used the foam cannon and pressure washer which was more than sufficient to get the dust off. Even the barrels stayed clean.What are folks with CCBs using beside soap/water?
That is my biggest hangup. What brushes fit in between the barrel and the rotors with tech bronze wheels? Anyone…?good collection of wheel brushes
