Pretty much any good sealant will work fine. Once they are protected, just use regular soap to clean them. Dont need any special wheel cleaners.

Now I've started using Duraglos sealant and I'm waiting to see how long that will last but so far so good.

What I'm trying to say is that I used to use wax to protect rims but now I use sealants instead...but that's just my

That's one suck Dub!! Some people like to use sealants, of course with a foam applicator dedicated for wheels.
