    Buying Big $ wheels - advice please

    Had a year end windfall (actually a divorce gone RIGHT) And so I`m gonna step up to a expensive quality set of FORGELINE wheels for my vette. The center is going to be a tint clearcoat smoke finish, the outer rim is polished metal not clear. So what`s the suggested plan to keep these wheels nice?

    I`m fortunate to be in Fl so they stay clean. .... I`m thinking this since I own these products
    carpro reset
    alcohol wipe
    opti coat 2.0 or cquartz on the barrel
    WHAT TO USE UP FRONT IS THE QUESTION....or how to apply a coating?

    reset and hydro2 for monthly maint

    but I`m open to any new procedures and products too!

    any opinions:

    The Forgeline VXC3:

    I`d go for the OC 2.0 on the barrel and keep going with it on the front. How to apply to the spokes etc.? I use a little square of Scott blue shop (paper) towel (thanks to Anthony Orosco).
