Default New alloy wheel treatment

Hi all,

I've just bought almost new D4 alloys. I was going to just wax them, but are there better ways to treat new alloys? Quick google returns some "protector" products, any recommendations?

Thanks

I had this http://www.metalmate.info/www.metalm...o/WELCOME.html on my 20" Diamond Cut D2 FE. Expensive, but seems to work and last.
