i just got a set of new wheels. i need a protectant for them. but the catch is they are not a typical chrome. they are the new chrome coating called PVD. what is the best sealant for these to last the longest.

that goes: any other type of "chrome-plating", as well.

How does PVD differ from traditional chrome?

Here is an answer copied off of a chrome plating site.





Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) is a time tested proven technology that has been used for decades in other industries. It is now available for automotive wheels. This new state of the art process provides a superior alternative to traditional “Chrome Plating”.
Chrome plating is well known for the many problems it has with pitting & peeling of the chrome surface. A PVD coated wheel virtually eliminates those problems.
We guarantee the coating for (5) five full years.
The PVD process is an environmentally friendly method of producing a bright wheel finish that is more durable than traditional chrome plating. PVD finish is also OEM approved.
