What rim and tire product do you use for protection?

What's a good rim and tire protectant product that lasts long?

[PA DETAILER]

Been using HYDRO BLUE for the wheels.
GYEON TIRE for the tires.

I usually just use whatever I'm using on the paint. I just started using mckees wheel glaze. It's nice but idk about the durability. It says on the directions to use it once a week. That's way to much work as its not a spray product.

I use one of the spray and rinse sealants for wheels (hydro2 or hydro blue)

I generally don't prescribe to long term tire products. I think tires should be cleaned thoroughly as part of the normal wash process and the strong chemicals and stiff brush normally used will degrade even long lasting protectants from tires. For that reason I prefer PERL or BF AIO tire and trim. I have used tuf shine and would recommend it to those that want the durability.

I'm planning on using DLux on a set of wheels I just got, but was reading about a hazy look that develops after 6-12 months. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm curious to hear from C5 users too.

Well I have my new wheels coated, barrels and faces, with Pinnacle Black Label paint coating and its holding up great the past 2 monthes its been on there, lots of cleanings too Chemical Guys Sticky Citrus too. Once I feel that I need to reapply, I have Sonax rim shield in my collection, this is a CAN'T MISS PRODUCT!!

As far as tires, well, I have several coatings at my disposal but since they aren't sold here I can't speak about them, sorry :awman:

Optimum Gloss Coat on wheels, Tuf Shine Tire Clearcoat on tires.

It's hard to use a bad product. Unless you choose armor all ;)

My go to for rims right now it CarPro Hydro2. But it's really expensive so when I am done with that product I will probably switch to something else. In essence, any good paint sealant or coating with will do the job.

For tires, I use 2. My basic product is Optimum Opti-Bond which is one of the best water based dressing. For coating I use Turtle Wax's Coating, I think it's called Tuf Shine, can't remember.
