    Hey guys,

    Can you recommend a wheel sealant or wax that would be suitable to use on wheels that have a factory matte/flat finish.

    Specifically, these wheels have a matte black center and I don't want to use a regular wax that will make it glossy looking.

    Looking for an affordable product under $100 if possible.

    Collonite 476 works on mate I believe.

    Does it really? Hmm... well I have a bunch of that, just didn't think it would be the product to use. I don't want the sealant adding any gloss or shine to the wheels and I'm afraid the collinite would do just that.

    Try on small area and if u don't Luke it IPA it. I tried on flat black truck and it made paint bit darker but not shiny

    Thanks, I'll try that. I guess since the wheels are going to be off, I'll try on the back side of the faces that are the same finish.

    I saw that while doing a Google search. But has anyone actually had first hand experience with it? What the durability like?

    Swissvax Opaque works on matte wheels, you can also buy it in 50ml so it is more affordable.

    It's been a little while since I made this thread, are there any new sealants on the market for flat black surfaces?

    On my matte black wheels I used Opti-Coat and did not change the finish wany

    Picture may show them as glossy, before I learned how to take decent pictures, but it is a satin/matte finish and did not change the cool of it any.

    I would recommend it without hesitation on wheels. I will be applying GTech ExoV2 soon as well.
