Calcium buildup

My 2012 1LT/RS is parked outside on the street at nights (non-optional to park it inside) and the sprinklers next to the car are beginning to leave calcium-rich waterspots on the wheels, while the paint on the car is unaffected. It used to not be a problem because I would frequently wash the car, however I am off at college now and in the Navy, so I can't take as good of care of it.

Any tips as to how to keep the wheels clean and prevent corrosion? I was thinking car cover, but they don't typically reach down to the bottom of the wheels(?). Howabout wax or some type of sealant? Any advice would be much appreciated!

Thanks!

wax will seal them they are coated - I usually wax mine when I wax the car

Most good covers will go all the way down. Heres the first one I found: http://www.chevymall.com/Camaro-Sati...ctinfo/DS623/#
