Chemical Guys Jet Seal has been fantastic. A wax you have to apply every 6-12 months and a sealant every 12-18 months. If you are looking for a more long-term solution, look for some type of ceramic coating. They are more expensive (can range from $50-$2000 for a bottle) but can last 3-10 years without needing to reapply.
Beautiful! I challenge any of the critics of the OEM 20s to say that your wheels don't look good. This pic is stunning. If you don't own these wheels, you don't understand the nuances built into them that separate them from the Hyundai or Kia or whatever comparisons. Anyway-great job, and I also love this product. not cheap or easy, but wonderful results.
And that's a good thing. The Honda Accord/Clarity not so much.
RejeX. Applied two coats. It's like a lotion in consistency, start with a freshly washed dry car, preferably in a clean garage or certainly in the shade, apply with a microfiber applicator let it dry and wipe off no buffing needed. I am not sure it may be Stoddard solvent based That's how it smells) and may contain a very fine polishing compound too.
i am am really happy with my Gtechniq coating. It has a 10 year warranty
couldnt agree more. Had the same coating applied - even my lease- and it is amazing. Third car I have had ceramic coated and nothing else compares. I used to apply Wolfgang Sealant and it would last a few months, but GTechniq is amazing.
I've used Zaino for almost 20 years, and have always been amazed by it's depth and longevity. But, now, I'm wondering if it's time to go ceramic. I'm also wondering if I can do Zaino and then topcoat it with Ceramic, so, not sure so I sent a note to the Zaino owner Sal. We'll see. I'm thinking it's one or the other, not layered.

Cant use Ceramic over the Zaino....BUT you technically can use Zaino over the ceramic. Not sure why you would though. Ceramic coatings have the same shine properties as Other sealants/waxes. I too used to use Zaino, but the GTechniq is every bit as “slick” looking as Zaino. You will be amazed by ceramic coatings....and you only have to do it one time!

Thanks for that info!!! It looks like I'm going ceramic only then!

Until/unless the paint is corrected so the orange peel is gone, why bother. Just check the reflection of an overhead fluorescent tube...they look like jagged lightning bolts.
The new water-based paints used on cars as well as the quality control checks or after paint wet sand and buff are just insufficient.
