There are tons of options out there man.

I personally like the Migliore Wheel Seal as it has a great scent, a great texture and is very easy to apply.

Take a look around Autogeek, Chemical guys, etc.

Are you looking for protection or shine primarily?

I prefer optimum opti seal on top of opti-coat for a more perm solution.

I have Opti-Seal on my wheels and they look great and clean up pretty easily. I think that any quality sealant is key to keeping the finish in good shape (just mho).

Seer:

Can I put Opti-Coat over Opti-Seal? I have O/S on my wheels and a hypodermic of O/C waiting to be put into service.

Thank you.

Opti-coat works awesome and requires a bare surface to be applied to.

so they are applied right away on the wheel, wash first then wax.. applied by hand then dry and wipe off? sorry, never waxed wheels before...lol, just want to keep the finish in great shape

Just like how I said it. Opti coat them refresh with seal.

I've cleaned mine up with some mothers then went back over them with some wax... seems to make it easier to clean next go around.

I seal with Poor boys wheel sealant. Makes it really easy to clean if they are kept sealed. Lots of good options out there tho.

I've used it, however, it doesn't seem to last very long.

After about 1-2 washes using normal shampoo that does not strip wax, it seems like there was no more protection or shine at all.

Good stuff for the price, but, there are better alternatives out there.
