Default Wheel wax / Sealant

So I have my 14 2014 C4S Turbo II wheels off for spring taking out of storage cleaning. While they're off, I'd lile to treat the wheels and the inside of the rims for easy cleaning of the inevitable dirt and brake dust. Thinking of using some left over GTechniq.

Any recommendations for a long lasting treatment? Ideally would like to just hose off brake dust and dry to a clean finish with a microfiber.

Thanks

OptiCoat would be good or similar nano coating.

RejeX wax is great too.

A topper of Armor All Wheel Protectant is da bomb for dirt/dust repulsion.

Opticoat works well but I've had much better results with the 22ple wheel coating.

Hmmm. Forgot I have some Rejex too. Leaning towards the GTecniq, but I have to admit, Rejex worked really well. Would I destroy the benefits of the GTechniq if I applied the Rejex on top of it?

No. And don't forget your calipers while the wheels are off. And dress the black wheel well liners with Aerospace 303.

If they are already off, I would lean toward having someone prepare them really well and then do a coating. CarPro Dlux, Modesta BC-06, Opti Coat. Any one of those would work. I personally will install BC-06 and Dlux, since those are the companies I work with. I think if you coat them now, you will not be sorry. In addition, you could put a coat of Swissvax Autobahn wheel wax on them as well.

HUMP
