Best wheel protectant/wax for powdercoated and ceramic clear coated wheels

Did a search on here about wheel polish and wax but the majority of the threads were for raw wheels not powdercoated ones. Rim-Ice and WheelWax were two that were mentioned to protect against brake dust and dirt in between wash/polish sessions. Anyone have experience using either product on wheels with ceramic clear and/or powdercoat? Looking to use a dust inhibitor and wax to protect my wheels in between washes. Don't want to use anything that will react with the wheel coating resulting in discoloration/peeling. I was told to use Meguiar's NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0 by the guys at VIP Modular but wanted to double check on here. Guys at VIP Modular are very knowledgeable but getting a second opinion won't hurt. Any advice is appreciated.

I used mequires on my dh polished lips a while back.only lasted 2 weeks if that.go on autogeek.com.and search there how to threads.I remember reading about using a paint sealant wax that's used on car paint for rims that last about a month or more. Think it's called klasse or something.

Some options...

Thanks for pointing me over to autogeek. Did a search on autogeek for protecting powdercoat and got a few hits. Saw the Klasse products on there but couldn't find much info on them. Did see a few names come up a couple of times:

Rim-Ice - http://www.rim-ice.com/ E-mailed and the rep said "our product contains no harmful or abrasive chemicals it is also environmentally safe. I checked with our engineering department and you will be safe to use our product."
P21S wheel cleaner and Carnuba wax - http://www.P21S.com
DP Wheel Glaze - Says it protects against sun, snow, sand, salt and brake dust.

Anybody tried any of these on their wheels?

Let me know what you think about those products. I may buy some of the Rim-Ice and P21S products and test them on the back side of my wheel centers, in case there is an issue.

I used Collilnite 845 on my powdercoated wheels. It seems to be holding up well. Inexpensive, a little goes a long way, and pretty decent longevity.

Might give this a try as well. At first I didn't see that many products out there but there are definitely more than I expected.

I'll have to check that out. Says it works on powdercoated wheels and the reviews online look promising.

The only problem with the shine seal is that its not for powdercoated wheels.
