Default New alloys: how to protect them?

I've just bought myself a set of lovely new RAYS TE37's and want to protect them beofre putting them on the car.

The finish on them is mainly a satin/matt/crackle effect with a shiny rim (all in bronze). I was thinking of just using the JEFFS Wekstatt acrylic kit on them as that's what I've got in stock but is there anything better I should consider?

JEFFS Werkstatt Prime Strong - JEFFS Werkstatt Car Care and Detailing Products

then

Poorboys Wheel Sealant - Poorboys Car Care and Detailing Products

and wash with

Menzerna Gel 7.5 Wheel & Tyre Cleaner - Menzerna Car Care and Detailing Products


or if your looking for a pack then this works out as a good buy and the tire gel is great and will show up your new wheels by making the tires look mega black

I went with the JEFFS Prime (didn't have any Strong to hand) with Menz Gel. That'll do for now, I guess.

She looks good, no?
