A pure sealant is a good idea too if they are new like this:

Or a favourite of DetailingWorld FKP1000

If I was you I would go for the FKP1000 as I hear nothing but great things about it. You can even use it on the car.

What finish are your wheels?

Mine are a matt finish and i want something to protect them without making them shine. Does the Poorboys cause a shine?

to be honest you can get away with using any wax on your wheels but the specific wheel sealants / waxes last longer.

another good option is CG's Jetseal 109... lasts for months and help repell dirt and brake dust.

With you on that one

Only argument is the cost of it. Might as well get the dedicated stuff for £12.

Agreed. circa £20 for the 16oz bottle is quite expensive.

The only saving grace for it is that it is pretty awesome when applied to the cars paint work and anything else you can find to put it on

The BEST by far is Planet Polish Wheel Seal and Shine - tacky packaging (IMO), but it's a SUPERB product

It really is a superb product, and only bettered by Swissvax Autobahn, but that's nearly 4 times the price...!
