Thanks everyone, been reading up on ceramic coating and there is a lot of products out there. First thing everyone mentions is get the finish done first, so I've re hit No 3 rim with polish.

Looking at a tiny 30ml liquid ceramic for $60 or more, over the spray on larger bottle. Reviews say more concentrated formula will last longer. Some 1-2 years depending on stacking and how often it's cleaned.

Anyone have any recommendations?
Me, no idea?

@panhead any ideas on a clear coat?

Truckies use a coating for their polished parts to keep them shining.

Not sure what it is though.

Gyeon Rim. It’s the King.

Make sure you get the instructions right or your neighbour might not leave you alone.

It’s for the wheels.

Thanks mate will read up on it. So far I'm heavily leaning towards Gtechniq C5 Wheel Armour

Good coverage, stackable, middle price point and great anti water thingos that ceramic does.

Wheels are tucked away atm, life is preventing tyre purchase atm but need to pull my finger out and coat them first.

Once you coat, keep dry for a day or so.
