What do you guys use for your Matte rims?

I am really struggling to keep my Matte black rims clean. I tried many different types of cleaners but cant seem to find anything that works. What do you guys use?

Using Wheel Wax will go quite far in keeping the dust from accumulating on the wheel! I've been using it for years!

I have Matte Antique Bronze wheels and here's what I did and no issues whatsoever!

Dr Beasley's Matte Wheel Sealant


For detailing the wheels after a wash I use Chemical Guy's Matte Wheel Sealant


Loved it so much I bought a gallon on it!


So what I did is used CG's Clean Slate to remove/strip all the waxes and what not on the wheels.


Okay with the wheels cleaned and stripped it's now time to use Dr Beasley's Matte Wheel Sealant.



So let me tell you what a difference it makes. Before I would use just a Meguair's Detailer spray just to detail them and it would leave it glossy instead of matte. Hard to show in pictures but it looks so different to leave them a true matte finish! Meguiars would just make them too glossy.




This is just my experience but I'm sure there's other products out there you can use

It doesn't have to be matte finish specific. Coatings help you to make them super easy to clean.

Not true. Some products will actually make your wheels look glossy which is why for a matte finish you don't want that.
