so i am supposed to detail this beast of a truck this week.
I have never worked on a truck with powder coated wheels.

My question is after they are cleaned are you supposed to put any thing on them? like wax or wheel glaze or any other pruduct

The wheels on my truck and my subie are both powder coated. (Sti has gloss black and tundra has matte black) I wash them with Meg's non acid wheel cleaner at 4:1 for typicall cleaning. If they're very dirty, I follow the Meg's with ironX paste and wash with that. Then when dry I just hit with a QD and call it a day.

If it's really caked on then use a cleaner specified for wheels. If not, use regular car soap and water, that's what I do

would you put a wax on them?

You could, but sealants and coatings would last longer.

anyone recommend a good sealer for powder coated rims that have a matte clear finish on them?
