powdercoated wheels
I treat mine like paint. I had some small swirls on them so I took some Tropi-care swirl cutter and applied by hand. It got them out with very little work. I've looked them over several times and they were pretty much gone.

I just had my wheels powdercoated white....no scratches yet, but they are a B*tch to keep clean with all the brake dust....but I would also like to know. I do plan on taking care of them just like I do the paint though.

when I had my painted C5's on, I used Metal Armor Final Polish and Sealant on the wheels .. I put 4 coats on, then never had to touch them again, I could just hose them off, then wipe them off with a microfiber, brake dust came right off.

I have MOTHERS wheel polish, red bottle stuff got it from pep boys. Works amazing! Keeps the rims slick and keeps brake dust from building on them. I haven't washed my rims in almost 2 weeks and you can barely see brake dust. Stuff works great and wasn't that expensive. Makes them shine really really well also. I recommend it.
