Really? I dont know, but I've used poorboys wheel sealant with great results. Which paint sealant would you recommend then?

I like DG 105. Its cheap, has some mild cleaners, good durability, EXTREMELY easy to use. You can apply as much as you want, leave it on for as long as you want, and itll wipe off effortlessly every time.

I've used Optiseal and collinite 845 on wheels. OS is obviously a wipe-on/walk-away product, so it was effortless, but I still prefer the wheel sealant even though the others did protect for a little while.

okay, i confirmed my rims are clearcoated. I accidently used mothers mag and aluminum polish on my rims, and the rag didnt turn black so that told me its clearcoated haha.
anyways, which polish is good for clearcoated rims? I usually go to superautobacs, and they only have the meguiars ones and mothers, there might be more but i never really paid attention. Or will PB wheel sealant be fine?
Should i apply polish first then sealant on top of it?

You can treat clear coated rims like clear coated paint. If you've got swirls or scratches, you can use something like Menzerna. Otherwise, just apply your sealant.

The PB wheel sealant should be enough. Like detailman said, unless the rims are suffering from some bad scratches/spiderwebbing, I'd skip it. Cleared rims wont polish out like bare ones will.
