I have some new Steel, Black, Powder-Coated wheels coming in. What's the best way to clean them and protect? Should I go Acidic base or Non-Acidic on the cleaner? Sealant, Wax or something else to protect? Never had steel wheels before, never mind powder-coated. All suggests needed, thanks.
 
If they are new, you won't need a harsh cleaner at all. If you are looking for long-term protection, rather than just a temporary shine, I'd recommend a wheel-specific wax or sealant. I have only used Poorboy's Wheel Sealant but it definitely keeps off the dirt and brake dust while also making clean-up easier.



The fact that they are powder-coated shouldn't change the routine much, other than enhancing the importance of getting some sort of protective layer on their before any contaminants embed in the surface.
 
If you contact a higher end wheel shop they will tell you some of their trades secrets. I would use similar steps to paint - clay, then AIO, then I would use a sealant like FMJ/Werks.
