Coating low gloss black wheels

[DaveT435]

My new car came with low gloss black wheels. I would like to put a coating or sealant on them. I currently have, GTechniq wheel armor, Blackfire coating,Optimum gloss coat, DP wheel coating, UPGP, and one other coating I can't mention. Has anyone used any of these on low gloss wheels? Or know of any coating or sealant for low gloss wheels?
I'm afraid if I use any of these they are going to add gloss. I want one that will just dry perfectly clear.

•I'll suggest looking towards:
-Swissvax, Dr. Beasley’s, and Nanolex for your
matte wheels' cleaning/protection needs.
-Those are the Brands'/products that I use.

If you like the matte look, apply with caution.

It will definitely not create a "high" gloss,
but it will no longer be fully matte

And...Isn't Gloss Coat supposed
to be even glossier than Opti-Pro?

I appreciate the info. I know gloss coat is glossier than Opti coat 2.0 was. The Gloss coat I have is the version they just came out with. I know they did say the new version has more gloss than the original gloss coat as well.
