I use Chemical guys Wheel and rim cleaner. (Pre Wash) then EZ Brush with car shampoo during washing...Finish with Wheel Wax. (monthly)
I usually just have to light pressure wash the wheels and the brake dust comes off EZ after that. (Weekly) P21 is great too. (I think the CG is cheaper tho).

First of all man, what kind of wheels do you have? Some cleaners are not safe on certain wheels. If they are painted/clear coated, you can just use any good clear coat safe car polish and car wax after washing them with the same water/wash solution you use on your car.

I also have new wheels on the way (19" CH-R) that should be here next week. I too would like to apply a sealer to the wheels prior to putting them on the car. The only stuff I have at home (since I just moved and everything else is back in Seattle) is Klasse AIO. Can I use this as a sealant for the wheels or is it recommend to use a true sealant?

I would say Swissvax Autobahn for wheel wax.
Now for proper care on the cleaning, I would just stay on top of it with various brushes and a good car wash. Phil |

What do you do for matt black wheels? Is a sealant okay like Chemical Guys Jet Seal?
