    Just bought a newer truck that has the black TRD wheels. What’s the best way and easiest way to clean them.

    The trick is getting some assorted wheel brush sizes for the nooks and crannies on Amazon. I haven’t tried any of the power drill brushes yet but have been thinking about it.

    I start with a pressure washer, spray on a good wheel cleaner like Meguiars Ultimate All Wheel, get in there with the brushes, hose it off, and use Dr. Beasleys Matte Wheel Seal to finish it off. The wheel seal restores it a dark satin black and holds up really well. I have a long gravel drive and even in the wet season I won’t clean the wheels besides hosing them off for months.

    Thanks Screws Loose, I never thought I’d be thanking someone with a screw loose. ;)

    I’ll look into getting those products. Can any of those be purchased at Wally World or is it all via online?
