Looking good, like you keep reading protect them when you are done polishing. Try to find a spray on hard sealer for the longest protection.

I talked to my local body shop and they said that they are afraid of the clear chipping off in a couple of month and said I should get them powdercoated....I called and they said it was a lot of money so I looked on autogeek and found this...Wolfgang MetallWerk™ Concours Metal Sealant protects and seals polished metal trailers, wheels, bumpers, trim. Metal wax, metal sealer, wolfgang metal
Any suggestions on a long lasting sealant on bare aluminum rims...

I'd pick up the 8oz bottle since your only going to be sealing your wheels and that is pleany to do them multiple times

I honestly think Wolfgang stuff is very overpriced. I got a sample of their wax and was not impressed at all for the price they wanted for it

I use this from Adam's, held up well on my winter wheels with all the salt and slush. I also use this on my camper and it really has made cleaning the bugs off an easy spray off.

There are soo many brands and kinds of sealants that it is tough to know what is legit and what isn't...
