    Cleaning Matte Black Wheels

    Was looking to see the best way to clean Matte Black Wheels safely?

    Currently, I simply hit with foam gun and use microfiber to clean it, then follow with Chemical Guys Meticulous Matte Detailer & Spray Sealant.

    I clean them weekly, so I don't have an absurd amount of buildup at all, but just looking for something new, possibly.

    Thanks!

    I used Sonax on mine for break dust, followed by a quick detailer and they turned out to great. Still a matte finish.

    If you're satisfied with the results this method and products are "working safely" to produce:
    Why change for the sake of changing?

    Valid point, guess I was looking to see if anything may have been a better option. Just looking to learn more.

    OK...
    Look to matte-products by Nanolex, Swissvax, Dr. Beasley's for safe cleaning/protection.

    Be Careful. I have a client who was washing his car in the sun and let the Sonax FE stay on too long. It etched into the powder coating.
