Hi bikers,
Any body got idea what to use on painted [mat black] alloy wheel? I use Meguiar's Natural Shine Protectant [vinyl, plastic & rubber] but it dose not last long more than a week.

Do you know if it is clear coated? If so, treat it just like paint. You can coat it with any wax,sealant or permanant coating.

:iagree:

Or you can go with something like Ultima Trim & Tire Guard. But with the heat that builds up on a rim you'd be better off with opti-coat.

Thank you guise for reply. Wheel is not clear coated, it is mat finish. It is factory painted & not painted by me. I can not use wax as it is mat finish. Any trim polish works on it but for few days only.
