Default Product(s) for Clear Coated Wheels

Folks, what are some products such as a good wax and general cleaning products would you recommend for wheels that has clear on them?

BTW my wheels are machine finish with a layer on clear.

I would reccomend P21s Gel for general cleaning of your wheels (non-acidic) and Permanon Platinum which a nano protectant, sealant with anti static properties. Minimizes brake dust and will make future cleaning of your wheels a breeze.

Thanks fellas - I greatly appreciate all the feedback.

Currently I am using Poorboy's World Wheel Sealant which is all.

So, in what order would I use these products?

Which one would give my clear coated wheels a nice sine + protection?

Not sure I understood your question - the basic concept would apply across the board - cleaner first, sealant (your choice) after that.

Opticoat 2.0 is a 'permanent' sealant, so you shouldn't need anything after that for a year or two at least.

+1 Opticoat is another alternative.
