Hi Folks,
I've been trying to find the best process for cleaning and protecting my powder coated wheels. Any suggestions will be much appreciated...

clean with p21s gel then seal with cquartz or opticoat so future cleaning can be done using only car wash soap.

I have powder coated wheels on my car. I just started working on mine. I polished the front wheels and sealed with opticoat. I'm planning to post pictures once I finish all of them

Cquarts would be another great option to seal your wheels with. I used Sonax wheel cleaner on mine

My personal suggestion starts with you getting that poor little car out of NY for the winter, in fact being the nice guy I am I will let you keep it at my place in sunny,warm southern CA where it can frolic with others of its own kind in an environment that will have it happy all winter.

IF that does not work for you I guess you could follow any of the others advise and they would be ok, as a fall back plan.

I used P21S then used Poor Boys Wheel sealant . I was very happy with both products I also removed the wheels from the car when I wanted to clean and treat them .

Soap and Water is always an option too. How long do you go between washings?

Guys,
I've done just that. P21s and Poorboys. However, when I wash using soap or P21 I'm left with a film. I would have thought with Poorboys it would all rinse off with a strong spray.

Do you think Black Fire/ White Diamond would be a good option?

Yes that would work fine. I know a lot of companies make a specific wheel sealant but normal paint sealants work well from what I've found. In fact I prefer them as I don't need to purchase a different product
