Newly refurbished wheels, how to protect?

[Heaveho]

Just had my Boxster alloys back from the refurbishers, and I'd like them to continue to look as nice as they do now. Can anyone recommend products to use to protect and seal them? Thanks,

This is easy to use and gives good protection.

Not used this next one but supposed to be very good but needs a lot more work to apply.

Most people will just use the same wax they use on the car, making sure you wash them regularly is the easiest way to keep them looking good.

I give mine a spray of gyeon wet coat every few washes, it does help.

Thanks for that, I'll take a look.

I used GTechniq C5, and it still seems to be effective 18 months later. I don't do huge mileages.

I recently started to add sealants on top of the C5, as durability is "up to 2 years", and I don't want to find it's given up and have to deep clean the wheels. I used Turtle Wax Dry & Shine last time, which is a good budget alternative to the well regarded Gyeon Wetcoat. Durability is less of an issue in current circumstances - it's nearly two months since I last refuelled :-(

If I didn't have C5, I'd probably use Soft99 Fusso Coat (because I have a tin already), or Wowos Crystal Sealant - it's reputed to work very well on wheels, with excellent durability.

Thanks, I’ve just had my alloys fully refurbished so will give the Gtechniq C5 a go.

I’m assuming it’s OK for diamond cut wheels?

Yes it is.
