    Ive read that people use Maguires spray wax on it to keep it fresh, be very careful with tire shine around it though, some will mess it up

    Soap and water and a regular clean will keep it looking nice. I had it on my stock wheels for over a year and didn't even wash the wheels. Just sprayed and it looked good, also very durable. Forgot to mention, that's a nice truck there. Love the sw Tacoma.
