Cheddars are mouldy rind cheeses. They remove the rind before sale, that's all. If you can keep the humidity properly, all you need to do is brush it when it gets a bit fuzzy looking. Eventually, the rind will get quite rustic looking. I've aged out 1 kg cheddar types without waxing, vac.sealing, or binding for a year and they haven't dried out. You should be fine with any path you choose, but don't worry if your cheddars get mouldy - it's part of the process.
