Matte Black Wheels, Cleaning Tips?

[ishyz34]

Hey guys,
does anyone know a way to clean matte black wheels and how to maintain that clean/shine?
No matter what wheel cleaner i use my wheels always seem to have a coat of dust which makes them look dirty!

i find general car wash with water and a sponge works well, then a chamios.

Pretty much as above,
There is no avoiding dirt and matte black shows all of it, try having a whole matte black car!

Best you can do is simply clean it regularly, brake dust and road grime is inevitable.

Matte black wheels represent!

Frequent washing is a small price to pay for looking gangster

Will try this i guess, with a wheel cleaner?

Hopefully brings back a fraction of the original clean look

Yea can use a brush for the inner part of the wheel and just a sponge for the outer face of the rim. Should come up really well, i had trouble with mine for ages but look great after doing the above, and its simple

Best thing to do with wheel cleaner is throw it out. Too caustic, too harsh and not needed. It will eventually pit your wheel's finish and erode your caliper paint. I have found a normal carwash soap on a sponge and a soft tooth brush for the hard to get places is enough and once a month using a light cutter or polish with a wax. Result will be showroom rims year after year. With wheel cleaner after 6 months your rims will look crap but you won't notice because the damage process is slow.

Was thinking of waxing my wheels but was curious how it goes with matte paint. I would be cautious of cutting matte as wouldn't it shine up the dull matte of the paint? Not really sure. Maybe wax only for matte wheels?.. can anyone confirm this?

run carbon ceramic pads.. keeps them looking the same and awesome all day long

Just dont touch them or the smear ruins it!

Wax won't gloss them just put a slight sheen on them but they will still be matte. Try it and you don't like it just use some wax and grease remover. But they will still be matte.
