I have Satin Finish wheels on my Charger. I use CS3 on them every few washes. Probably once a month they get spray coated. In Between I use Detail spray.
 
So my technic is I wash the wheels and tires with Wheel and Tire cleaner, the purple stuff works great, once a month I'll use wheel cleaner or Iron remover just to see if there is any brake dust build up.
 Then I use a leaf blower to dry the tires and wheels. After I finish the rest of the car , jams , detail spray drying agent etc. I'll grab a bucket with a lid and use it as a seat and go around each wheel with either Detail spray or CS3 and give them a coat. It takes about 5 minutes to do all the wheels. I go back around with Tire Dressing I use VRT As I totally enjoy the Satin finish.
 Once you use this process , your wheels have a heard time keeping brake dust on them. I can wash my wheels most of the time with just a tire bucket filled with Car Shampoo and a Micro fiber towel. The Tires also stay very clean and super easy to clean after you keep up with them. Soap and water and I may or may not re dress them after each wash depending on how they look after I air dry them.

I decided on a 2020 Charger Scat pack in Pitch Black.

His and Her's LOL.

He keep all the cars around the house clean. My Son and I are detail freaks so pastime is detail time. If my Son washes his Audi S4 , he usually turns to his Mom's car when he's done.
 He really likes the Purple colors and enjoys getting it all shined up. I'm pretty fortunate that way I don't always have to wash it. But if I did, I don't mind I also enjoy spending time in the driveway and garage.
 
 

Here is a picture of the wheel.  I will have to check the finish when I get home.  The tires are mounted and balanced already.

To clarify, Wash & Wax actually has silica resin, not carnauba, so it plays great with ceramic coatings. It's somewhat of a misnomer, but resonates with the average customer. So, if you want to start using it again, have at it!!
 
Here's a video to further expand on the chart.
 
 

@Mantis This is my H2O G&G setup, if you are looking for a better performing sprayer - the gold & black is the Tolco 320ARS Acid Resistant (probably overkill, but this one was recommended and I like it!).  The grey sprayer is the Tolco 320CR Chemical Resistant head on my Tire & Rubber Cleaner. I also upgraded my Wheel Cleaner with one of these Chemical Resistant sprayers.

This is my first black car and man am I glad I found Adam's to keep it looking good. I used the ceramic spray coating and I use the CS3 in between washes. I haven't tried the ceramic boost yet, guess that's more money spent! 🤑

Here is the one that I think @Nickfire20 mentioned several months back too!
 
 

All good my friend. I'm moving all towards a all Adam's Polishes arsenal anyway. I just been over the years trying to navigate all the changes that have happened since I use to be a professional Detailer back in the late 80's early 90's. I use to use Rotary Buffers and just got a D/A Polisher for my Birthday in June.
 I figured that those 2 products where not water activated as they don't mention any of that in their specs. I usually use Detail spray as my drying agent but I might once in a while hit it with CS3 since this product is so good. I'm gonna pick up a gallon of it.

@Mantis I use H2O G&G often (used it yesterday on the wife's Accord with a Rinseless Wash) and I love it.  That being said, the sprayer that comes with the bottle does not produce the best results.  Try the sprayer that comes with the Premium Dilution bottle, or do what I did and get a Tolco sprayer  I use the 320ARS black and gold model, but any of the Tolco 320 models should work fine (this the sprayer the Premium Dilution bottle had in the past).

Hi Daniel,
Since this is a Adam's forum, we'll only be discussing Adam's products.     Let's start with Ceramic Spray Coating and UV Ceramic Spray Coating.  These are equal products, one has the UV capability to make it easier to see the application.  You need to have a special light, sold separately on Adam's site, to get the benefit of the glow technology.  I've found the UV to be a good selling point with clients to show the coating is applied.  I keep the regular Ceramic Spray Coating and UV in stock and use the one that I think is being for the marketing required.  On my personal vehicles, children's and their spouses, they almost all have the regular CSC.  One family vehicle has the UV since I test everything before it goes on a clients vehicle.
 
We have a mix of a garage queen, garaged daily drivers and pure outside daily drivers, plus a few driveway queens - those are the ones that sit in the driveway, but are rarely driven.    Starts with my wife's garage queen, it gets wash using a two bucket wash and lambskin wash mitt about once a month.    It is maintained 100% with Adam's products and I only use the best on her vehicle as @falcaineer can attest to. The vehicle is ceramic spray coated and kept immaculate about once a week, I treat the vehicle to either a Ceramic Waterless Wash or CS3.  The Ceramic Waterless Wash came before CS3 and I bought a gallon, it works great and makes for an excellent drying aid after a wash.  Given how good CS3, I doubt I'll buy another gallon of CWW unless the sale is exceptionally good.  
 
For CS3, this is my go to for topping Ceramic coated vehicles after a wash that gets washed every couple of weeks.  The about once a month the vehicle gets Ceramic Boost as a drying aid.  I do not put CB on a vehicle using the dry method unless the weather doesn't permit it.  Then I use a moist method which is a couple of light sprays of purified water on the towel, then a spray of CB on the vehicle.  A little CB goes a long way and the biggest complication is when people use too much, then it tends to streak and the pure dry method can also streak according to your climate.
 
For the Ceramic Side of the house, my recommendation is Adam's Ceramic Spray Coating, CS3 for doing waterless washes and for a drying aid after a regular wash.  The exception is ever 4 to 6 weeks according to your vehicle usage and climate to use Ceramic Boost in lieu of CS3.   Unless you are challenged with seeing where you have applied the Ceramic Spray Coating or are doing vehicles for clients, you don't need the UV variant.  It is a personal choice and is no harm if you choose to us it for your annual to semi-annual strip, polish and coating routine.
 
I have one and only one place that I use H20 and while I know it has ceramic properties that is not why I use it. I use H20 in lieu of ceramic coating on pure white vehicles or ones with the Pearl white color.  I don't know what it is about the properties of H20 and the white vehicles, but I have found nothing that can compare to it for making a while vehicle look absolutely beautiful.
 
I hope this helps on your quest to get the optimal Adam's products for your vehicles and usage characteristics.

Good info from @RayS above, and it looks like you're on your way.
 
To clarify, CS3 and Ceramic Boost are not "water activated" like HGG, but they do work as drying aids on a wet vehicle. Just be sure to not use in direct sunlight if at all possible as silica-infused products tend to streak in those circumstances. 
 
The Hybrid technology version of HGG released last year has acrylic resin, carnauba flake and silica resin. While it can be used on a ceramic coating, there are better options within the Adam's lineup of silica-infused product to maintain it.
