Any recommendations on a wheel sealant for polished aluminum wheels that will not yellow or cause unusual defects? If all goes well with the car, I will pulling the trigger on a new set of wheels and would like to address this before they are on the car.

Brian,
You have two choices for the wheel sealant (that we carry).
1) Metal Wax that is safe on polished wheels (and other metal surfaces too). We carry this in stock. Check out the CG website for details:

2) Wheel Sealant. We also carry this in stock:

In terms of decision, the Metal Wax is good for wheels, sheet metal, diamond plate, just about anything metal that can be polished.
The wheel sealant works on all finish wheels - chrome, polishes, clear coated, painted - not sure about anodized, but you could use this on just about every vehicle you own.
On my LaCrosse with the OEM chrome wheels, I am using the CG Jetseal, which is their best paint sealant - also use on the car's paint. I use the CG wheel sealant on the wife's 5 series and also the GTA (with CTW Wheels). I would not use it on polished wheels as it could possibly turn yellow.
Here is a suggestion to everyone with new wheels - clean them and seal them before they go on the car - the entire wheel and inside barrel. That way brake dust is less and they are easier to clean. Tar would still stick, but everything else would be easy to remove.
