So I'm fighting keeping these polished 2 piece eagles looking good, due to daily driving it. Anyone have any advice?

As of now I'm washing with soap and water, and polishing with mothers and a powerball, then by hand. wheels alone are a 2 hour ordeal.

Not too bad, but i want to find a product similar to a sealant that i can apply on top of polish so that all I'll have to do is Wash and dry for a few months before i re apply polish.

Tried Adam's quick sealant, which is in an aerosol can and optically clear, so as not to screw with the mirror appearance of fresh polished billets. This worked, but only lasted 2-3 washes @ a wash per week.

Any input or ideas? I'll get some pictures of how bad my wheels are after just 2 days of rain. Oh, the truck's also parked outside every night.

how they look polished up
 
I wash my truck 1-2 times a month and polish and seal my forces once month with Adams which keeps em lookin pretty good. With a bare metal wheel on a DD truck it's gonna be work no matter what

Never do polished wheels on a daily. Simple. Struggle is real

I have beeds applied to my Racelines, but its only been a few weeks now, and itys garage kept. So I'm not a good example.
 
I can't afford or justify clearing them. Plus I don't trust anyone local to me to do it. I've seen too many wheels yellow, the clear crack, or it not adhere very well.

Guess I'll just keep rubbin on em.

Plus I really want to find a set of 15" rallies or wagon wheels to daily in winter.

Yeah..... Bitches have me sweatin.... Lol
 
I park my truck in the garage, and still fight oxidation and marring with weekly washes. I seal mine with Adams quick sealant also and I think that's just the name of the game with polished wheels.
 
Yeah, I guess I'll keep doing this quick sealant. Maybe I should try multiple coats of it.
