Default Black Wheels

Hello I just got my newBlack wheels and tires in. I was wondering if there was something i could spray/wipe on the wheels to protect them or will just cleaning them regularly keep them shiny black. Thanks!

The clearcoat on the wheels should protect them.
Use only neutral pH cleaners and all should be well
until the clearcoat starts to peel.

My OD Wheel Seal will work great to clean,shine and protect your wheels. Brake dust will come off with ease.

Yes, it works great on chrome,aluminum,polshished, and clearcoated. Pretty much safe on all finishes.

you said they're new so you shouldn't need anything more than your car soap and water to maintain them, since they *shouldn't have any brake dust embedded on yet. you can use any wax/sealant to protect them

i would recommend a synthetic wax over a carnuba because they tend to protect a little better and last a little longer than your typical nuba
