Best way to clean flat black...

I can't search on my phone... Just hit my wheels powdercoated matte black and am wondering the best way to clean them.

Car Wash Soap and Water... if you get really substantial brake dust buildup then a dedicated wheel cleaner like our Green Wheel Cleaner.

If you stay on top of it you won't need anything more than soap and water though.

what he said. I also have mattle black wheels. It also helps to do them last when washing the car. Because you really need to wash and dry, the matte black will show water spots if you have hard water.

you can use our Car Wash Shampoo.

It contains no waxes, foams very nicely, rinses clean, and is pH neutral so it will not strip wax.
