Default Any "gel" suggestions for a fully polished wheel?

I'm awaiting the shipment of my fully polished wheels (not exposing which wheels they are yet ) but they don't have a clear sprayed on them- it will be a "bare" polish.

I made a list on my computer of a couple of brands to do more research on but of course I can't find it anymore. If anyone has a suggestion or any tips/tricks- I would greatly appreciate it.

I've used chemical guys wheel wax with good results , also your best bet is as soon as you receive them coat them with opticoat , which is a wipe on paint clear coat I did this on my volks for extra protection topped off with the wheel wax

Yes, the only finish I wouldn't use it on is Plasti dip or painted wheels (with a can).

Any other finish, the Poorboy's wheel sealant works amazingly well. I speak from experience
