According to Steve at IForged, they use a product called Wheel Wax on their brand new wheels before they get shipped out.

The guys at www.autogeek.net have huge variety - I think they are a forum vendor. They respond to questions and can give you some very good options for various products to help keep your new wheels clean and protected. I have purchased stuff from there. Their prices seem great and shipping is fast.

You are gonna love the CCW's!

I used 5 coats of Zaino Z5 and then Zaino CS when they were new (in late winter)... mine is not a DD, but they clean up very easy.

Note... I went to ceramic pads right away too...
