Buying Chrome wheels

I'm buying some Chrome 5 spokes for my G, and i was wondering what products do y'all use to protect them?

-should i wax/seal them before i mount them?
-if so, with what?
-what's the best way to clean them when they get dirty without scratching them?
What do y'all do for cleaning/protecting your rims?

Sealants I used to protect my rims are: Jetseal 109, Klasses AIO, Duragloss 111.

Clean them with a body brush and some P21s gel wheel cleaner, 10:1 of apc. Eagle one all wheel and tire cleaner.

Yes seal the back and front with a sealant thats good for high temperatures. Also do this before mount them. Also don't forget to clay them before sealing them.
