You can use your favorite paint care products on a coated wheel like yours. Do not use Metal products. Poorboys wheel sealant is great, it will repel brake dust and keep the wheel cleaner longer.

My 96 Cobra came with the same wheels in your signature and they were clear coated. Do not use metal polishes on clear coated wheels.

LOL! I missed that part! Ok, disregard all my other stuff from my testimony! As far as metal polishes go on new wheels use something abrasive free. Most metal polishes are. From there you still use a wheels sealant to keep the whhels protected longer and repel the brake dust. I personally use Wenol Blue because Even on chrome-like polished metals it does not scuff. I had problems with other products especially Nevr-Dull actually scuffing the metals. Just do a small test spot on a blank CD and look at it in the light, it it scuffed it you will see it clear as day, I do the same test on paintcare products, especially Microfiber towels.
