2014 Z51 Black Wheels
Over the course of the past year my black z51 wheels have turned from gloss black to almost satin. They have really lost their shine. Has anyone else found this problem? What can I do to fix this other than re-paint the rims.

do you clean em when they are hot....that really messes up wheels to spray stuff on them hot or very warm......just my findings over the years

I was using mothers brand, foaming wheel and tire cleaner. Said it was safe. Since noticing I have stuck to soap and water. The wheels are not hot when I wash as the car is straight out of the garage.
