    Protection for matte black rims

    Ok, I used search function for protection on matte black rims and couldnt find any threads on it. I just purchased some matte black rims for my 14 Jeep, before I mount the tires I would like to throw some sort of protection on them. What does everyone suggest for matte black?

    Coat them. You can coat them with minimal change in appearance, but major change in cleaning ease.

    Nanolex and Dr. Beasely's, for example,
    have products specifically for matte surfaces.

    Use something that design for wheel like PBL wheel coating.
    I would hesitate to use some coating brand that advertise to make 9 layers

    A paint coating would be your best bet. Since all coatings are clear, it will dry clear and only show the matte black paint and yet will give you the protection your after.

    CQUK is wonderful for all non-porous surfaces!
