Which wheel wax or sealant?

My 442''s are cleaned and safely stored for the winter. Before putting them back on the car in the spring I want to wax or seal them.

What wax or sealant do you recommend. The longer it lasts the better.

Seen some good reviews for Collinite 845 ??

I've just read you want long lasting, if that's the case then definitely C5, last 12-18 months I believe, you might want to use their W6 iron and fall out remover gel wheel cleaner so you aren't using anything acidic to clean the wheels or risking damaging the coating.

I wouldn't bother wasting your time using wax on wheels, it's not intended for high temp areas and most wheel cleaners would strip it within a few cleans.

I think long term the C5 option would be a lot better finish and durability for not much more money, definitely a lot less effort especially if you already have the wheels off.

Ive just recently put Gyeon MOHS on my 624s, ready to go back on the car in spring.
I have also aquired Gyeon Rim, so will be putting this on my 704s when they come off. Both are ceramic coats I guess? So should last two years at least.
