Wheels pre-fitting protocol?

Hey all,

I have two sets of wheels which i am about to get fitted. (different cars

)

One set has been freshly painted/lacquered, the other set freshly powder coated.

The question is, is there anything i should be doing with regards to protecting them before fitting, for example waxing or similar?

What do you guys do in this situation?

Kind regards

Yes id use a wheel wax sealer or something. BH Autobalm of a strong thicker sealer.
Oh and make sure the lacquer is fully cured. Nothing worse than soft lacquer on the car. 2 hours at 60degrees on heatlamps isnt always enought to cure lacquer on wheels due to the wheels metal mass.
