The car has 3500 miles on it and was garaged most of the time so I figure it has some more life left in it.
I have two questions for you:
1) knowing that it has a coating but not knowing the brand, what would be a good product to boost or maintain the paint coating? I looked at Gyeon wet coat. Is that headed the right direction or would something else be better?
2) what is the best method to clean/protect the wheels while still on the car? I attached a picture of the buildup it looks like the previous owner hadn't cleaned the barrels very often. I was thinking a cleaner like Gyeon iron to clean them and then I wasn't for sure what to protect them with. I have contemplated the Gyeon rim coating but I don't have the best setup to pull the wheels off of the car.
Thanks in advance!

#1 - I would use Nanolex SiSplash. I recently tried this and it worked great over my coated M2C. You can apply wet or dry. Very easy to wipe off as well.

#2 - I would try soaking the wheels (while cool) with some Sonax. Let the product sit a little longer than normal especially in the barrels. Use the Wheel Woolie to agitate the dirt. Hose off after.
