20” foundries here. I wax mine. Makes cleaning sooo much easier.

If you stay with the wax route they do have special wheel wax that should take the abuse a little better. There is also a sonax spray that can be used that lasts about 2-4 weeks but in my use it gave the wheels a slight white haze. Maybe not the best for black wheels.

Just ordered some of the CG Sticky Citrus Wheels Gel to try out. I've heard that some of these stronger cleaners may be causing corrosion on wheel and braking components. I use Adams H20 Guard and Gloss on the wheels since I got it in a mystery box, seems to work fine.

I'd throw some ceramic coating on them. Night and day difference in cleaning them.

I use Carpro Dlux, you can do you exterior trim and even your tires if you choose. As a matter of fact I just ordered a fresh batch for my new wheels. Going to start them right from the get go!

The best wheel cleaner there is is sonax, hands down. It's expensive but there's a reason for it.

Don't DON'T use any wheel cleaners with acids (will have the skull hand placard on the label), these will eat the zinc coating off of anything thats zinc coated that it touches especially calipers. Zinc coating is very strong so if it will eat that coating off imagine what its doing to paint/clearcoat.

Also i'd be wary of any citrus cleaners as citrus in itself is acidic.

Use Meguiar's Wash and Wax on my black 20" wheels. Simple enough.

I used mothers non acidic,worked great. I did get some turtle spray tire shine on part of the rim, guess that wont damage the black?

I keep mine waxed with poor boys wheel wax. It's a pain to wax them, but it really makes a huge difference at wash time. They clean right up.

I just use mothers spray wax after I wash the car. Don’t have PP wheels but they are black

I agree with this. Even a product like CarPro Reload/Hydro2 Lite or Mckee's Hydro Blue would do an awesome job and be far easier than hand waxing the wheels.
