Default Wheel polishing/wax

Kind of new to this stuff, but what do you folks use to polish/wax/protect your wheels? I have a set of AME's and wondered what most of you use? I've used Mother's on other wheels, but does regular polish or wax work? SOrry for the noob questions

Are the wheels clearcoated? This makes a big difference in polishing if they're cleared or bare metal.
Regardless, Poorboys Wheel Sealant to top it off FTW!

I've got the same question. I'm assuming you can use it on the face of the wheel and the lip right? TIA.

yes, you can use it on the entire wheel. I do the inside barrels as well to make the routine cleaning in there easier as well
