Found something that cleans my TRD Pro matte wheels nicely

So I just spent over an hour on cleaning and sealing these stupid wheels. If Dr. Beasleys is something that will last then I will keep the wheels. If I have to spend this much time every time then these wheels will be sold immediately. Its the one and only thing I truly hate on this truck.

Have an update at all? The stuff work? I know you were doing some tests
 
I have a way to keep mine clean. The wheel
Is nice but I hate cleaning them. So they are coming off and my new SCS wheels will be going on. They are so easy to clean and I think look better.

This stuff works especially the sealant, but for them to look good you have to apply it probably every other wash if you really clean the wheels each time. If you just spray them off and don't clean them each wash then it will last a little longer. Since I was stupid enough to buy a Magnetic Gray TRD Pro I will be washing it often. There were no white ones in the area when I needed to dump my Jeep.

I will be keeping my wheels only because I really like the look of them and don't want to buy other wheels. The Dr. Beasleys makes it relatively easy to clean although I still spend way too much time on the wheels. I do love the way the Magnetic Gray looks when its clean and has clean wheels.

Thanks for the update
 
Best way to minimize cleanup time is by first prepping the wheel: clean it really well, clay it, then ceramic coat it: Pull the wheel and clean it inside and out. Use a clay bar and lube to really clean it (helps the ceramic stick and fill all pores). Then while it's as clean as it can be, ceramic coat it, on the face and inside the barrel, everywhere possible. Don't use the cheap stuff if you're already going this far. Once the ceramic is cured, put the wheel back on. Repeat process for remaining wheels. There are no shortcuts, short of buying brand new wheels (won't have to clay).

Now depending on your level of brake dust and dirtiness tolerance, all you need are weekly maintenance cleanings with a pressure washer. Then use your favorite non-acidic wheel cleaner every two weeks. Super easy and fun. Ceramic can last months, and up to a year.

Quick, and cheap method is to clean it like you normally do, then use something like Gyeon Wetcoat spray on while wet, then spray off (search YouTube). This will last two to three weeks. And is a bit more maintenance, but not as labor intensive up front like the above ceramic method.
 
I occasionally sprayed Pledge on my tires to get that non wet new tire look. Some of overspray would get on the matte wheel. Found this to actually work wonders. Looks perfectly new without having any a blotchy spots. And it's inexpensive.

[MENTION=253921]Kalikid05[/MENTION] - are you saying you sprayed Pledge on the wheel and the tire?



Yes. On the rim spray and wipe off. Leaves the rim a nice clean matte black with no residue. This after I washed the rim with normal soap and water. On the tire I sprayed and let sit for a bit and then lightly blot and wipe to make sure it gets in all the crevices or tire side wall.
