clear will just rub off and could negatively affect braking power so I would just tape it off.

Definitely tape the brake track that way you know there won't be any adverse affects. The braking with a new clearcoat could be very bad.

Armour All wipes work great at keeping the carbon looking new. A SRAM rep gave me that tip and it really does keep them looking nice. Obviously, you will not want rub it on the brake track but it does work.

wouldn't the centrifugal force drive the armor all outwards on the wheel onto the brake track? that sounds like a disaster waiting to happen!

The wipes are not super saturated. I have been doing this for about six months now with zero issues. I would not spray or douse with Armour All though, wipes only.

Mask off the brake track. Do not clear it. You'll also want to mask off the spokes and spoke nipples (if you're leaving the spokes in).
