Default Cleaning black rims

I have a set of Ford Racing black bullitts and they're a pain in the *** to keep them looking clean. What do you guys recommend to get a nice shine out of them?

just clean them with soap and water like you would the rest of the car. and then you should put some wheel sealant or some regular wax on them. then they should be pretty easy to keep clean.

Thanks for the tip. Looks like that Poorboy's wheel sealant is the best stuff out there, so I'm going to pick up some of it. I just have a couple questions about it: How often should I apply it and what type of cloth should I use to put it on and then buff it out?

DP Wheel Glaze = > than all I used it on my black Cobra R's and they looked better than new. And I regularly waxed and washed them to keep them looking nice.

I went with the DP. With a 10% discount code, autogeek.net had the Poorboy's for $14.39 or a 2-pack of DP for $19.79. I've read very similar reviews for the products, so it seems like a no-brainer to get the double pack DP
