    Anyone find a good cleaner for the mat-black TRD wheels? i had some luck with Griots wheel cleaner, but lots and lots of hand scrubbing...... they dont look that bad dirty with a Quicksand truck..... but still...

    I coated mine with Dr. Beasley's Matte Wheel Sealant. I've been able to clean them without issue with Adam's deep wheel cleaner and their Eco Wheel Cleaner. I've also used Beasley's matte wheel cleaner. All work well in my experience. So far none of the products I've used have changed the finish at all (i.e shiny spots)

    I'd recommend picking up wheel woolie style brushes in at least two sizes if you don't have them already. Additionally a smaller detailing brush will help with the spoke corners and lug nut areas.

    Just coat them with CQuartz Dlux. They clean up super easy. This was a really quick wash on them.

    I literally just use the same soap that I wash my truck with (chemical guys) with my Mothers power cone on my drill. Super easy and quick. Then I blow the whole truck, wheels and tires dry with my backpack blower.
