I'm not familiar with the brand, but the reviews about them are good.

Wheel woolies are great - my set has lasted over 2 years now.
Once your wheels are ceramic coated you'll find cleaning them becomes a lot easier.
IMO any wheel cleaner that turns purple is breaking down the brake dust and breaking the bond between the dust and the wheel. With a coated wheel, this simply doesn't happen. so IMO is overkill on a treated wheel.
My routine uses an APC at a 10:1 ratio. Spray on, foam and agitate with a wheel woolie and rinse off. this removed 90-95% of the brake deposits, the reaming few bits can be easily wiped off with a m/f towel.

Wheel Woolies are awesome, been using them for years and absolutely love them.

As for coated wheels, the reason you have them coated is so they are easier to clean. You shoudn't need a dedicated wheel cleaner for this. You can use soap and water for maintenance washes, the same you use on your paint because the coating is the same (or close enough, lol @ high temp ceramic wheel coatings). Use a separate bucket and different wash media, but yeah that's kind of the point of having them coated isn't it?

yea i didnt even have to use any wheel cleaner or my wheel woolie on my first wash just pay and spray and all the dirt came off but when i got the wheel cleaner it says right on it dont use on powdercoated wheels so i was a little mad at my detail guy for making me waste $15 on it but maybe ill use it on me and my gfs car with normal factory wheels lol
