    I have OCD with these black TRD wheels. I’ve never been able to get them clean. I’ve tried so many products and even talked with a detailer on what to use. He recommended a product that did really well but cost 25 for a 16oz bottle. I hand wash it twice a week. I just found Dark Fury and it’s amazing. The wheels look like they were just taken out of the box brand new. Best of all you dilute it 4:1. A gallon on Amazon is $52 but if you have an Oreillys near you they sell the same gallon for $27. I’ve heard at a dilution of 10:1 it will take bugs off your car with no problem. Amazing product.

    I use snow if I can find it, or snow melt. Problem is the rough muddy road into and out of where I'm finding snow just gets them really dirty again. My wife "washed" the tires and wheels yesterday but the brown clay seems to have stained the rubber. Good thing the tires are getting swapped out next week so I don't have to look at the brown tires and street tread. Next week it should be mud stained ATs.

    I use super clean from O Riley. Not the Super Clean Wheel Cleaner same brand but one is general use and one is for wheels. The general use one seems to be stronger.

    I can clean the brake dust off mine with my finger after spray if I wanted to.

    I use Chemical Guys Diablo Wheel Cleaner. I'm not sure how it would do on the black wheels, but I love the results on the ORP alloy wheels.

    I use Dr. Beasley wheel cleaner and satin wheel protector. The wheel pictured was grungy looking and dry looking prior to me treating it.
