Coating Black Wheels

I recently purchased a 2017 Grand Sport, with black wheels. I just applied Wolfgang's Uber Ceramic Coating on the wheels which I had on hand and would appreciate any suggestions for maintenance.

Thanks in advance

My detailer introduced me to, and provided the flat Incredibrush for wheel maintenace (sitting far right on the stool in the photo). The MF covering just seems far more gentle on painted wheel surfaces than nylon bristles. I've relegated my EZ Detail brush to cleaning just the wheel liners.

I would stay away from any and all harsh chemicals after coating. Just by nature the ceramic isn’t going to last as long on the wheels as say the hood of the car. Soft brushes and a mild soap should be all you need, and I would use any topper over the ceramic. I didn’t even bother doing my wheels. If you don’t let them get too bad you never need to use harsh chemicals unless you wanna do a full decontamination. My brakes give off a **** ton of brake dust too.
