Do you use paint sealant on your wheels?

Since I don't like to take too much time bending over on each wheel, I use either Z-CS or Opti-Seal for that fast paint sealant protection.



I will soon need to clean them with Z-AIO.

I assume UPP = Ultimate Paint Protection? So every few months or so I should apply a few layers of sealant (whether that be KSG/JW AJ/etc.) on my wheels and during washings where I don't apply a sealant, give the sealant on the wheels a boost with UPP or a similar spray?



Yeah, UPP= Ultimate Paint Protection. After a while you'll notice that your wheels just aren't getting as clean and shiny as they oughta be, and that's the time to start over with a thorough cleaning/polishing. Until then yeah, I use the spray sealant as a booster every few washes and something like FK425 after all the other washes. YMMV depending on how you use the vehicle and what you clean the wheels with.
 
I applied Mother's SynWax (liquid) to my wheels back in the beginning of May. I knew I wouldn't have access to a hose, and honestly didn't feel like buying ONR, so I wanted to make sure the brake dust didn't bond to the wheels. Sure enough, I finally got to wash the car a couple weeks ago, and the brake dust that was sitting on the wheels all summer came right off. I must say I'm quite impressed, especially considering it took maybe 10 minutes to seal my wheels (they're very simple 6-spoke OEM wheels). I have to admit, I didn't notice much of a difference at all in the appearance of the wheels though.
