Im having a tough time keeping my flat black rims looking clean. I Like the shiny, "just oiled up" look but the stuff Ive been using (tire oil) gets all drippy and inconsistant, and still gets dusty and flat looking fast.
Do I need to bite the bullet and clear coat them??
What do you guys use??

Any suggestions would be great!
Thanks

*oh, and this my very well be the wrong board. Sorry admins *

 

Sell them and get rims meant to shine. Flat black.... think about it.

 

yea seriously
lol

 

flat black certainly isnt meant to shine, and black wheels arent really hard to keep clean

no brake dust, just some dirt

 

I use the "No Touch" aerosol spray when I want the shiney look. These are powdered flat black.

 

why did you get FLAT black wheels if you wanted the SHINY look?

I can make my flat black wheels look shiny if the mood fits me. Can't make your shiny black wheels flat unless you sand them down. That's why.

Yeah...I have flat black wheels as well, and I just mist them with my tire foam really quick when I'm doing the tires and then wipe em down . Does a pretty good job.

 

if i had flat black rims, im not quite sure id even care about cleaning them. id just let the brake dust build up more and more.

HAHA really flat black.... duh

 

Unfortunately, the brake dust ends up looking reddish brown, and still looks like ***.

 

you think you have a problem keeping black rims clean, try cleaning my white ukdm itr wheels.

 

how do i keep the hair from the top of my head from growing???

 

nothing u can do.

 

this is hilarious...how do i keep my "flat black" wheels shining?...c'mon now they werent supposed to shine. If you want them to shine get something else or add clear coat to them.
