Coating on bare aluminum wheels with brushed finish?

[rickpaw]

What do you guys use/recommendation on wheel protectant/sealant for bare, brushed aluminum wheel finish? My Budnik wheels finally have tires mounted and I want to protect the finish, or at least reduce the maintenance. I've heard of coatings such as opti coat and cquartz.

Are you looking for a polish/rub out coating or a clear coat? For clear coat, Budnik recommends a ceramic clear. They can't easily be rubbed out, but if sprayed well are beautiful and very durable.
