Regular wheel cleaning using car shampoo should work just fine

Alright guys so a few questions.

1) Do I treat Satin Black like a painted surface?

2) Can they be sealed like a painted surface?

3) Can anyone give me the run around on satin black wheels and the do's and dont's?

Thanks everyone.

yes and yes..I have black satin vossen barrels and I cleaned them, stripped them with alcohol and opti coated them. If you don't want to do that use your favorite wax..it should be treated just like paint. It's not really a matte surface, it's hard and smooth. It'll take whatever you want...

Chemical Guys makes a Matt Detailing spray. Thinking I'll be getting this for mine.

How will you be using it? To clean or just for quick cleanups?
