Wheel Protection options

I've heard all about Ceramic coatings for auto paint, but I'm looking to protect wheels. Interestingly, my research has found that ceramic coating may not hold up to high heat situations - like wheels/brake dust, etc. Some say you need a silicone product, others are claiming high heat protection without silicones. I see Adams, Beasley, Chem Bros, etc..

So what product(s) do you recommend for a matte/satin finish. I don't care if it adds a hint of shine, but don't want glossy or super glossy.

This is what I used, 2 coats on inner barrel and on my calipers.

I'm checking their site/product(s) now. Thank you for the suggestion. Those bronze wheels look perfect with the white. Nice choice
