Hey all,
I recently ordered some forgestar cf5v textured black matte wheels. I have a wheel wax that I use on my currently clear coated wheels however I am almost positive the wax will stain the textured matte wheels.

What do you think would be the best product to seal and protect the wheels?

Can I just clean the wheels like I normally would with a gentle apc (meguiars apc+) or with meguiars non acid wheel and tire cleaner (D143)?

Thanks guys

Here's a couple of Brands that have matte-specific products:
Nanolex
Dr. Beasley
Swissvax
Chemical Guys

Do you care if they have a little gloss if not then Opti coat them if you want them matte as possible then Chemical Guys have a Jetseal Matte sealant, and some say you can clean these surfaces with regular car soap with no problem or you can use a matte soap from Chemical Guy's,

awesome thanks for the information. These wheels just threw me because they are a textured matte with is a bit of a rough surface vs a smoother matte.
