Default Wheel cleaner and sealer?

Im about to take delivery of some new 18" wheels and was wondering what the best product is for cleaning and what is best for sealing/protection and wheel care there after.

Cheers.

i use poorboy's wheel sealant on mine very good product and my wheels are white i've been applying 3 coats and and then going over with some leftover meguiars wax every 3 months and it has so far stopped anything from bonding.

I use smart wheels to clean then apply a coat of Collinite 476 wax. I previously used Swissvax Autobahn wheel wax (contains teflon) but manage to get an as good result with the Collinite for less money!

I would highly recommend Swissvax Autobahn Wheel Wax for protection. A quick spray with AutoGlym Engine Cleaner (safe for alloys as it is water based rather than acidic) and a wipe over with Micro Wash Cloth once a month and they are brand new again!

P21s has been recommended to me for safe cleaning of alloys by a friend of mine with way more experience than me in this sort of thing...
