The only product that i know of that would actually keep the matte finish from fading is from SwissVax. They max a Matte finish wax. The stuff aint cheap at all. I had a friend buy some so I could detail his Matte black Corvette. But as for solvents/chemicals to clean it. Be careful go slow. Lots of stuff will make them fade. Try to find something on PAC that doesnt have any strong abrasive/chemicals in it. Something that is citrus/pH balanced will probably do the trick.

Thanks for the help, I've seen that product from Swissvax, just can't justify buying it right now.

Thanks, it's a customer of mine that we visit every week to maintain his daily drivers.

Have you tried asking the manufacturer what they recommend?

I know the cost is steep. Since only his wheels are flat, but if he comes to you that often I would almost ask him if he would purchase it for you to use. Thats what I did with my friend that owns the flat black Corvette. Just an option. Today I was requested by a client in Phoenix to do 3 of his flat black vehicles. If anyone sees that thread feel free to chime in

Wait, this is a customer of yours that you see weekly and you can't justify buying the product?

Rasky for the win!

This is a good question. You may discuss with the owner of the automobile that has wheels require a special product to maintain them properly and that either you have to charge more for doing to work (to amortize the cost of the product) or you ask him to buy the product.

That said I very had some pretty interesting conversations with paint manufacturers and product manufacturers about flat finishes and it seems there are many ways this can be achieved. Your best bet would be to contact the wheel maker and follow their suggestion.

Thanks for the advice, I've been reading up on the Opaque product from Swissvax and I may have to look into getting it.

Note: I try and get everything I can (products) to make our work better for the customer. Shelling out over $200 for a wheel wax is just not something that I thought I would have to do, considering this is only our part-time business right now.

It's just a big step for us considering the most expensive LSP we have is BFWD. May be time to step up though.
