Last couple times I've ordered from CSW they scolded me for coming to get it before it was ready. They told me in the future to order the day before I need to pick it up. At the minimum wait to get the email from them saying it's ready. I think they've gotten really busy. I used to be able to order before I left to go there and it would be ready by the time I got there 25 minutes later. Now it takes hours.
I was about to order some stuff from Car Supplies Warehouse the other day until I realized they closed the Lombard retail store. They moved it to the Romeoville location and actually have a storefront you can go shop now, and extended hours on Saturdays. I'm about to head up there now and probably spend way too much money lol.
You ever try rejex sealant?
I have it, and have used it on Billets. As mentioned it just slows the oxidation down but doesnt prevent it.
crooks I have the large bottle and can give you some to try before you buy it
Any harm in ceramic coating polished wheels?
Getting ready to put some wheels on with a deep polished lip.
Car will unfortunately live outside and I want to make cleaning / preventing water spotting as easy as possible.
I have half a bottle of C.Quartz UK left over that I was planning to coat them with, but have never done it on bare metal.

Coating bare metal is a touchy subject. It's been discussed before
Long story short is it will not prevent oxidation. It will only slow it
I would not use a paint coating.
If you read most wheel coatings, not many specify if it's safe to use on bare metal. To avoid any permanent damage, I suggest a polished aluminum sealant and apply it multiple times a year.
You can look into Dr Beasley's metal coat since it is marketed for exhausts.

Caleb515 as mentioned nothing prevents it, but you can slow it down. I’ve used this and I have had luck. I actually have both of their aluminum/metal polishes and this sealer. If the rims are already in good shape. I’d hit them with Never Dull as needed and seal with WolfgangWolfgang MetallWerk Concours Metal Sealant 8 oz https://a.co/d/aQwIVDs
Eagle 1 Wadding Polish, 5 oz. https://a.co/d/h7ZPlkP
^^ All very good info.
Will look into and most likely pick up a bottle of that Wolfgang sealant.
They are brand new so looking to do some preventative protection and hopefully make my life easier while owning them. lol

Ceramic coatings for paint also don't have the heat rating that a wheel specific coating has, as wheels are subjected to more temperature from the brakes. So if you want to coat painted wheels, use a wheel specific product.
Had to restock some items in my arsenal, picked up some more adams graphene detail spray, carpro hydrO2 lite, and had to get some more Reload for the homemade detail spray I whip up. I didn't know there was a 2.0 formula for this stuff now. Shits expensive, and probably unnecessary for what I'm doing with it, but I want to give it a shot anyways. Wondering what kind of improvements they've made in it tho, and if its a more viable option for a standalone topper now
2 down, 1 to go. But I might wait till tomorrow to wash the Wagoneer.
She clean, I washed her twice ?‍
