How to protect my rims..

I recently acquired a new set of rims. They are Rays Engineering GramLights 57F Bronze. I've read several threads that people put protectant (? I'm not sure if that's the term to use) to keep the rims clean. I also read that different types of finish on the rims use different product. So, what is it that everyone use (I've read that people use AIO)? and what should I use on my bronze rims? What's the step of applying them on the rims?



Note* I have decals on the rims. Not sure if this will affect any product that goes on the rims.



Thanks
 
Klasse SG (sealant) should be helpful in protecting them. I only wash my wheels with water and car wash, IMO keeping on top of them regularly will eliminate the need to use anything stronger
 
Use SG just like you would on paint...Prep the wheels with a wash, clay, polish job. Then use Klasse AIO, then SG.



Personally, I like to layer the SG on the rims. I take them off to do the initial detail so I can get the insides down. This has cut down a lot on brake dust and makes cleaning them now a breeze.

Oh wow...even clay and polish.. Does that affect the surface of the rims at all? I mean the compound for the polish?
 
Since your rims are painted (and probably have a clear coat) using clay and polish on the rims would be no different than using them on the rest of the car. Gramlights are nice... I have a buddy who just sold his set.



I just picked up a set of Rota Circuit 8's and have used AIO and SG on them... unfortunately I think I have to go exchange them due to a manufacturing defect. BTW, Santa Cruz, eh? Do I smell a fellow bananaslug? ;)
 
Oh? I would assume you go to school at UCSC? :)

I'm currently living off campus, 2nd year majoring in ISM, on probation (LOL), want to detail my car yet no place to detail.



you?
