Thanks

Can you name any specific product that you've used so I can get a better idea what I'm looking for?

Hey, so I have and use Meguiars and Adam's quick/paint detailer sprays...

Heck and coming from the bike world, I even use and like the Pro-Honda spray cleaner and polish product. Works great IMO/IME. It's all I used to clean my bikes in the past, never used water.

Basically I've used water only a couple times to clean my F14's. As mentioned, after every drive I do a spray and wipe clean. I just use care not to wipe too hard initially, just carefully taking off the top layer of dust/dirt, then I spray and wipe down more thoroughly a 2nd time. Again, always using soft, micro-fiber towels only. Seems to be working well for me.

Awesome, thanks! My motorcycle and my car both have black wheels and I've always used WD40 and a rag... I knew there was probably a more elegant solution

No problem JB. I will get you images of the brushed face with polished inner windows clear coated. I know we've done that finish before.

This set is shipping out to our client today. I will send you some images of the wheels on his car once it has been mounted.

The wheels will be mounted onto the client's car this weekend. I should have some images of the polished on his car by Monday.

I emailed you the custom finish you requested. The custom finish I sent you is not on a Forgestar wheel. However, the wheel design is similar to the F14 and the custom finish is done exactly as you requested.
