My black saleens are starting to show swirls and I was wondering if there was anything specific I should be using to clean them. Usually just powerwash them and clean them up with meguiers last touch spray. Is there a certain wax I could also use? Thanks.

I know this is a little older thread but is there any advice? Ive got black wheels and they are starting to look a little rough.

meguiars mag polish - you can buy it at pep boys - put a few applications on to see some amazing results!

I would try a conventional polish or something like Meguiars scratch-x on black painted wheels. The mag polish is more suited for a bare metal surface, it might be too abrasive for a clear coated wheel.

Is that what you use?

I was having the same problem on my black FR500's. Used some meguiars cleaner wax and a microfiber and it made a huge difference. Not back to brand new but very close.

Actually I use Optimum Polish and then Klasse All In One, but something like Megs Cleaner wax as was mentioned would work great as a one step. It has the ability to clean up the scratches and leave behind protection. It is SO much easier to clean wheels that have been waxed or sealed.

Thanks for the information guys. Looks like I'll have to do this in the coming weeks.
