Thanks for the response. I don’t mind doing the manual work of putting the wax in when i have the time, there’s that. . Is there no other way of almost-maintenance-free wheel care or car care for that matter other than ceramic coatings these days? Just really curious.

If you like doing it then just use wax or a sealant.

This guy sums it up on whether ceramic coating is for you or not;

I just order the gtechniq C5 sealant for wheels, mine are new, so app. s/b cake. min 1 year, but mine is not DD, so I might get 2 full years out of. I posted video on wax section

Also I use P21S twice a year, (easy to put on, and get 6 months out of) and Griots "Best Show Detailer" spray a few times in between.

Car is always garaged, so thats plenty of attn.
