I have family who have and haven't done the same - both have seat kicking kids like mine. Guess which family wish they'd used the product.

The technician will take my wheels off, so I don't have to. That's why I don't need to do it myself.
Hahaha very true the clearcoat is not that strong overall in some respects.

It is not that hard to take a set of wheels off, even one at a time you probably are talking 10 -15 minutes a wheel.

I apply it every year, spray some on a tissue and wipe it all over the wheel. Water runs off it, the salt washes off and no brake dust attaches, its great. You can also use it on black plastic to get out the grime and bring back the lustre. Ive tried waxes and the seem to attract the dirt. As for your seats I use Meguires Gold on my BMW, Ive had no problem with this product.
Not that difficult to clean up and decontaminate them. ACF-50 is a good product but using it on wheels not sure if it could ruin some of the gloss and shine?

Normal waxes on wheels is a bad idea but wax with PTFE is better or just stick to sealants.
