Cleaning dull wheels

[mw3230]

The wheels on my 2015 GSA are painted matt black and look neglected despite my best efforts to clean them. They aren't dirty but the matt paint makes them look as if they are.

Can anyone suggest a spray cleaner which will spray on and then retain the shiny appearance

Maybe a cloth and wd40? or a silicon spray

GT85

Strip completely bearings discs tyers and all and put in dishwasher. JJH

I've tried WD40 and 3in1 silicon spray with limited success. When they dry off the surface becomes dull again. Haven't tried GT85 but plan to buy some as it has been recommended

As above good scrub with water and cleaning solution and dry off then bit of GT85 or similar on a rag they come up like new

Get them coated like Nutty did

The problem with GT85 is that it has silicon in it, so it attracts dirt. I have used WD40, car soap, Autoglym wheel cleaner, Bilt Hamber Surfex HD, Autowheel and Korrosol. The last 2 are acid based that dissolves metal particles. In the end Bilt Hamber Surfex HD and a toothbrush with a microfibre cloth for wiping is the best solution. The wheels are still dull but it is clean. Spray anything on it that attracts dirt and it will look dirty again. Just live with it. To get the matt black finish GT85 does a good job but as I said it gets dirty quickly. Oh, and don't let any cleaning product dry on a matt surface. You will struggle get rid of the stain.
