Cleaning Matte-Finish Wheels
Hey yo,
I know this has been discussed a bit, and there are some pretty common guidelines to adhere to, but I would like to put together a guide for us Matte-Finish wheel owners for proper care and cleaning, as well as point out the Do's and Don'ts.
Personally, I have been used the strict "soap and water" only cleaning process, for my first go-round but I am a bit unsatisfied. I used my adams shampoo and a soft-pad, but I still have some brake dust remnants creeping out.
My Forgestar guide says for serious cleaning, use a 50/50 mix of simple green and water. However, I know there are a few horror stories out there of simple green causing some issues.
Can we establish a list of any confirmed safe spray cleaners?
Also, many have had good luck with Adam's VRT for a post-cleaning dressing. Finish-related ideas are also helpful.
If we can get some good content going, I would love to put together a guide. So lets have at it. "Before and After" pics are certainly helpful.
Thanks
