    I've used McKees spray wheel sealant and love it. That being said, I've also used PoorBoys Wheel Sealant and had excellent results

    Optimum Opti-Seal is my favorite. Apply and walk away.

    I would go with McKee's Hydro Blue, it doesn't get much easier. Personally I use a wheel coating and maintain with Hydro Blue or similar.

    I would apply a ceramic coating to your brand new wheels for long term protection. Pinnacle Black Label, McKee's 37, Gyeon, CarPro, Dr. Beasley's and GTechniq offer some great wheel coatings.

    I prefer to use Sealants.}

    I have Pinnacle BL paint coating on my 3 season wheels, applied 3 coats over last winter before I installed them this past spring and cleaning was always easy, just my maintainence wheels cleaner or left over soap and my speed master, that's it. Paint coatings make great for great wheel protection!

    I would also like to add Sonax wheel shield is also OUTSTANDING!!

    Do yourself a favor and use a coating. GTechniq C5 is my favorite - one of the best things I've done besides coating the paint!

    Re: Looking for a good Rim wax

    A just-in-time thread for me as I'm looking to do something with my clear coated wheels in addition to properly cleaning them. But, man, these coatings are absurdly expensive....except, I saw this kit - https://www.autogeek.net/dp-coating-kit.html.

    $100 bucks to coat paint, glass, and wheels...I'm in, I think. I wonder how many uses I'll get out of the coatings in that kit? Is a single small bottle sufficient for one car, two cars?
