Having my C6 GS wheels powder coated next week and I really want to go with a Matte/Flat finish but I'm worried about how to take care of matte wheels. I know that with any matte finishes you really should avoid waxes, polishes, wet sanding and even hard brissle brushes. So how do you care for them? How do you clean them? Do they over time become shiny in some spots? Am I better off going with something closer to satin (i.e. between matte/flat and full gloss)? The guys with the Centennial edition black wheels any advice?

use a good safe wheel cleaner (like P21S) to keep them clean. If they are coated then use a good sealant to protect black clearcoated wheels specifically. For matte wheels I would not use traditional waxes, polishes, or sealants on them. Follow the manufacturers suggestion.

Mine are Piano Black, and they're powder coated. Contacted the wheel manufacturer and asked for products they recommend to clean them. Their answer was mild soap and water - then stated anything else will void the warranty.

So I clean as advised, then use my master blaster to dry (from a foot or two away) and they come out looking great.

Yeah..........that good ole mild soap & water works great on just about everything from the interior to wheels & everything in between.
