What is BEST products for polishing & sealing Weld Racing wheels?

[SOREBACK]

I have a set of Weld Racing RTS wheels for my 2012 Mustang. I bought them used. Although they are in great shape, I would like to get them as shinny as possible then seal them. Here is what they look like:

My car is just a weekend cruiser with an occassional blast at the track. When I take it to car shows I don't want to have to repolish them every week. So I currently did them with Mother Billet polish but is there anything out there BETTER? Then I want to lock the shine in with the BEST sealer thats proven on the market. Any advise will be great appreciated. Also tips and tricks are also welcome to. Thank!!!!

Some more permanent options would be Opti Coat, Cquartz, DLux, C5.

If the only process desired is polishing w/o cut, I would suggest loose cotton wheel and either blue or red greaseless compound.
If a bit (absolute minimal) of cut is desired, I would suggest loose cotton wheel and white greaseless compound.

Dewalt 849, 6" wheels spinning @3000rpm's (6000SFM).

OPT Car Wash or similar car soap ONLY for cleanup.
Polished aluminum WILL oxidize.

If I had to choose a sealant, it would be a polymer blended natural wax.

I use Opti-coat monthly on my uncoated aluminum wheels. Keeps the polishing down and only need a quick wipe or two with rinseless wash to clean.

I did the same with mine and after a year they still look great

DO you really need to use OC monthly? Does it just not last very long on wheels?

I'll have to invite Lew to bring his Chevy back and we'll see how his diamond plate is holding up.

Sometime here in the near future I have a new to me set of slotted mags that I'm going to polish out...
