Looks Good! Does washing the rims or emblems effect the finish after they are fully dry?

I've gone through 2 washes using mitts on the rims and they still look the same.

How difficult is it to clean? I've seen plasti dipped parts and the surface seemed rough and a bit sticky.

Regular car wash soap and soft cloth or you can just hose it down. It's not like it's powered coated wheels where you have to pay extra attention in making it immaculate and shiny. All you really want to do is get the dirt off.
