Wax on Clear Coated Wheels

There were several threads about this but I wonder if any of you can offer some specific help on this. I apologize if this question had been answered before:

I have ordered the clear coated HRE P40s (just like Dkreidel's--what a copycat!). The guy from the shop says there maybe a special wax for these CLEAR COATED wheels. I will really appreciate it if you have any information in regard to brand names for this application.

I would use a good quality paint sealant and make sure you put a good few coats on before using the wheels if possible, and dont forget the inner barrels as well. The paint sealant will stand up to the heat and chemicals a bit better then a real wax will. I have a full clear coated wheel and I only have to wash them with normal wash soap now.

right now I am using Menzerna Full Molecular Jacket, im almost positive one of our sponsors Phil @ DetailersDomain carries it. Its a little pricey but its the same that I use on my car paint so well worth it.
