As long as it says "safe for all wheels" your in fine shape. Do not let the product dry on the wheels though. Do one at a time, with minimum dwell time. Use a soft nylon brush, rinse well, and then seal with the synthetic. I wouldnt bother with the Nuba, its going to melt away rather quickly.

After spraying the cleaner, use the nylon brush to agitate the grunge on the wheels and then rinse off. Repeat if necessary. Use a foam applicator to apply sealant, let haze then buff with a soft towel (MF). Make sure your wheels are dry before applying the sealant.

You're making things more confusing.

If I remember correctly, Megs All Metal Polish is also a protectant as well as a cleaener. You can use a MF applicator pad to apply it. Work it in till you get a shine and buff with clean MF towel. You can apply a coat of sealant to increase the longevity and protection.
