I got p40 in texture black. I am wondering what is the best way to take care of them. Should I use wheel wax on them? Is it ok to use quick detail when drying the wheel? Lastly, I am getting water spot on the inside of the wheel after washing, what is the best way to get rid and prevent them.

Thank you

 

after you wash the car take it for a spin around the block and use an air compressor to blow away all the water when u park and dry the car. As for the wax i dont have any experience with flat black wheels

 

Matte or Satin Finish Paint - Do not polish or wet-sand a matte clear, as the flattening agents that cause the matte appearance (textured finish) by diffuse reflection are retained very close to the clear coat surface. By levelling the surface the light will be reflected evenly and result in a ‘shine’.

Use an ultra soft, zero abrasive cut (Lake County CCS Concourse Gold (100 PPI) foam pad) with a mild chemical paint cleaner/ polish (Zaino Z-AIO - All in One) it will remove surface marring and leave it flat and dull. Use a clear polymer (Zaino Z-CS - Clear Seal) to provide surface protection

 

thx for the help guys....so maybe i will use some kind of wheel sealant for them

 

Make sure to clean the wheels properly using a safe pH balnced wheel cleaner like P21S. Use a soft horsehair bristle to clean the face and lugs of the wheels since horsehair is gentle and won't marr the finish.

If you use di water, you won't get any spotting. I don't recommend driving the car around to get the water out unless it's the last step after the finish is wiped down. If you drive the car prior to the finish being complete, you run the risk of marring your paint when you go to wipe down the finish with detail spray or spray wax. This is due to picking up dust which is basically microscopic rocks and further wiping that into the paint.

What I'd suggest is a forced air blower like the airamx. This is extremely powerful and will dry the whole car and the wheels as well. A good trick is to flush the rotors with water and the calipers until the water comes out clear. Hope this all helps. Here are the products I'm suggesting:

Listen to MoeMistry...he is tooo good. There is always some water in the crevice that would just streak on the paint when you drive after the wash where all the dust from the driving will cling on to.

 

thx for the advise guys

 

I have the same wheel textured satin charcoal ,what i do between washes is use the small blue california dust duster between the spokes to get the brake dust off ,then just wipe down with a detail spray,then i use this new matte finish tire cleaner which leaves a non shinny look on the tire.Been doing it for about a year so far with good results,behind the spokes is kinda tricky but i usually try to squeze my hand between the spokes & wipe down about once a month.

 

thanks for the help info
