Personally I use the Poorboys wheel sealant - kept my Monza IIs looking like new even after 3 years. Smells nice too!

The Swissvax stuff smells of those cola bottle sweets! I nearly ate some!

I originally bought mine from an eBay trader for about 11 quid but he is no longer trading. However these guys sell it at a reasonable price....

http://www.motorgeek.co.uk/poorboys-wheel-sealant-p-165.html

First time you use it, it is worth applying it 3 times (ie apply, buff, apply again, buff again, apply again etc) to build up a decent coating. Takes a while but worth it - makes the wheels dead easy to clean. I use to then re-apply a further time about every 2-3 car washes.
