Pretty good stuff... however I have used FK1000p (a Finish Kare product) that doesnt shift under extreme use and is also good for paintwork etc.

If you want top dollar stuff use Nanolex - its a wheel sealant that will also last for ages, probably outdoing the other 2 by some way. Its costs a few bob for a small bottle but does the trick.

I use Rim Wax and I can say it does let you wipe off the brake dust when washing the car really easily, it also gets a good shine on the rims if they are painted or powder coated not too impressed with its performance on the polished alloy rim but probably the wrong stuff for that.

Ive heard Poorboys is the stuff to use because you can build upon the layers. Lots of the other products have a cleaning ability which will just remove the previous layer.
