Re: Truck Wheel Care
We've had excellent results with a variety of our products on a variety of matte and satin black wheels. Our Hot Rims Aluminum Wheel Cleaner is pH neutral and is a great wheel wash for these surfaces. Ultimate Wash & Wax Anywhere (or it's pro equivalent, D115) also works great as does Ultimate Quik Wax (D156 in the pro line) without adding gloss that you don't want on these surfaces. Stay way from liquid and paste waxes or any sort of compound or polish as these will alter the surface characteristics and start to impart a gloss (and it won't happen evenly, either!).
Routine maintenance is critical as heavy brake dust build up can be more difficult to remove from a matte/satin finish since you can't get as aggressive with it as you could on a glossier finish. And while we all see heavy brake dust as looking black on a silver painted wheel, it just looks dull and brown on black wheels. Clean the wheels often and you'll be well ahead of the game.Michael Stoops
