Polishing Protector??

Didn't really do a search but in all of the polishing threads i have gone through, no one really mentions a type of clear coat to protect say, their wheels. I know i have read of a few that have had to go back and touch up some of their parts b/c they became dull over time. Well, i ordered up a bunch of polishing stuff and i was wondering if anyone had ever used this before:


Eastwood Diamond Clear Metal Aerosol 12 oz

Item No. - 10200 Z
Protect metal parts with a crystal clear, tough, flexible coating that will keep brass, aluminum, steel, die-cast, even cast iron looking great. This special self-leveling formulation, when properly applied, will not chip, crack, fade, or yellow. Resistant to fuels and temperatures up to 300 degrees F, this product is ideal for underhood applications (except exhaust manifolds). Great for polished mag wheels, aluminum valve covers as well as items around the shop and home. Diamond Clear for Bare Metal is a solvent-based clear in a 12 oz aerosol can.



Regular Price: $9.99
Sale Price: $8.99

Just wondering if i should use this stuff on my iroc wheels. I mean, it says it is for wheels so i was just wondering if there have been good results from this? I have not bought it yet, so i am open to opinions on other products as well to keep the polished look! Thanks

Thanks for the tips guys. That Zoops stuff looks pretty good from what i read, but it cost a lot! I'll have to check into it more. Also, the POR-15 stuff, i thought they just had rust proofer. I'll also have to look into them as well. I know up here in the north east we can have some really bad winters, and i really would not want to polish the wheels more than i would have too. And the Carnauba Wax i would imagine works great, i just don't know if it would last a very long time. I am looking for a type of sealer. Thanks again for your help guys. Anyone else?
