Love that product. I did it to my stock wheels and plan on doing my 19's in the spring. Looks great.

Slightly off topic, is this what is supposed to be used for the CDR-220 Radio **** fix?

Secondly how well does it hold up for Rims. May be nice for a set of winter Rims.

It holds up very well. Washes off with just water.

I am pretty fussy with the car and I'm really amazed with the results. They look professionally done or like they came painted like this. The product stays kind of rubbery to the touch for the first few days but now is pretty hard and has a textured feel to the touch. It rained today so they are pretty dirty. From what I understand wash as normal and dry off with a micro fiber rag so no lint sticks to the matte finish. So far so good, I think the car looks a bit more aggressive with the matte finish black wheels.

Actually the microfiber towels will leave little fibers on the wheel. I use the dip washer that i got off the Dipyourcar.com website. All it is,is one of those towels that absorb the water and get hard when they are dry,not sure the exact name.
