Quartz on wheels

Anyone have recommendations for quartz application on new wheels?
I want to keep them clean and protected but don't want to take them off and wax it every 6 months.

Was looking at Gyeon and Optimum, and CarPro's offerings. Any negatives?

I had a local shop put CQuartz on my wheels for $100. When I got new wheels I DIY'd with this: https://www.amazon.com/CarPro-DLux-P...=wheel+cquartz

Had it on since late last year and brake dust still wipes off cleanly when I wash my car. And I still have plenty left in the bottle for multiple re-coats.

The detail shop I go to will be using Cquartz on my new valenti tails.
No charge since the detailer will be doing a wash and detail on my car next month. Cquartz is good stuff. Car Pro Reload is amazing too!
