I stopped using Rimwax and never purchased the Wheel Guard due to the cleaners in them as I like to build up layers of protection.
Standalone the Autoglym Twins will hold up as wheel if not better as any dedicated sealant, which is why I use them and then top with cleaner free one's as they are...
Yeap the cleaners it have in it will prevent mutliple layers - 2 coats of it will just ensure proper coverage rather than allowing you to build up mutliple layers of it like the Poorboys or Swissvax ones will.
You should be fine - as said the only thing to watch with the Menz. polishes is you work them so they break down or you will induce micro marring. They take a hell of a lot longer (esp. the PO106FA PO85RD 3.02) and need more passes than something like the Poorboys SSR's but the gloss they create...
PO106FA or PO106FF cleaned up marks on it's own on at the weekend and I did not need to crcak out the Intensive Polish.
If you do use the PO85RD 3.02 you will proably get away with Menzerna Final Finish PO85RD after but the PO106FA will do the same with more cut.
Will work well, just need to...
Auoglym Super Resin followed by there Extra Gloss protection works as well as anything. Holds up well to the temps. Just takes a while to do due the cure time.
I try and get a couple of coats on once a year then use a easy on and off WHEEL SEALANT when I get the chance inbetween which can be...
Working by hand your options are limited.
I dont like T-cut because it is an old fashioned abrassive cutting compound/polish, in the past few years the game has moved on.
Newer products contain diminshing abbrasives which mean they start off with a heavy cut, but break down into a mild...
I never slate anything until I have tried it - but I really did I find it that bad, if it had looked good I would have forgiven it's shocking durability but it did not even look good.

M/Seal is about as durable as a chocolate fireguard, easy to use at leasts. Made my car looked washed out and grey in the bright sun.
2 costs should ensure total coverage. I would give it 12-24 hours to set up before topping with wax.
I use it as an opportunity to get rid of shite shampoos i will never use up!
2 or 3 capfulls of car shampoo in a 500ml spray bottle with water works well. If I can't be bothered to wash and dry again after I just use the 1:1 Last Touch.
The CG Cuys QD you have will work.
SRP it's self is a paint cleaner, if you want something a touch stronger you could use something else before the SSR's. I used to use Meguiars Medallion Paint Cleaner before it was discontinued.
If your claying and polishing there is no real benifit IMO
Also works fine wipe on and wipe off a panel at a time.
I tend to do one side of the car and remove, then the same on the other. Then apply to the bonnet and roof and remove then the tailgate and valances.
