    Gotta say I'm a bit OCD ( or CDO ) when it comes to my vehicles -
    Wife goes on about how I'm gonna wash the paint off -

    Love these wheels but wow when they get dusty/ dirty/ etc cleaning them is a bit much.

    You folks got any good tricks for these ?

    Not speaking from experience, but I hear ceramic coating wheels makes cleaning them a breeze, no matter how intricate the design.

    Don’t drive it lol. Seriously, some do apply ceramic coating. Easy dust the dirt away . Or just live with it. It’s a pick up not a car

    Black wheels have always been ultra bad for this.

    they will still dust-up even with a coating. I have the black TRD sema wheels and I ceramic coated them with optimum gloss coat before they got mounted and I still get lots of brake dust. They clean off easier but it doesnt stop them from getting covered up. Just the nature of a black wheel. I will say if you can rinseless wash them so you are not getting the rotors wet and they dont rust up like a normal car wash you will get alot less nasty looking right away

    Don't drive, wear a mask inside, wear a condom while you sleep. Griot's make a good heavy duty cleaner but it's mainly for brake dust, carbons and so forth. Wash it once and thoroughly,apply a good wax of your choice and let it be. Or simply don't drive anywhere and it can be a "show truck".

    I like driving this thing - I look good in it - it looks good on me - I like it shiny and clean -
    Been 20+ years since I had a new vehicle of any kind, want to keep this one nice so when I check-out
    in a few more years my son will have a nice ride.
