How do I make satin black wheels pop?

[PT3]

I notice my satin black wheels are starting to get more flat / cloudy / lose their sheen.

 

What can I use to bring back their sheen? VRT isn't for metal..?

 

Thoughts?

No more manual though :-(

Same. Even a Boxster Spyder. They're relatively slow, but the light weight experience is amazing.

I am pretty sure the idea of black wheels in general is to not make them pop. Should have gotten silver wheels if you wanted pop.

Black wheels...ANY wheel color can 'pop'. Something doesn't have to be shiny or bright to 'pop'. But I guess it's all in your perspective and interpretation. Maybe 'pop' wasn't the right word. But either way...Because they are satin and not gloss or matte. When they are clean they have a sheen to them that makes them look deep black without SOME reflective qualities. If you look at the pics you see what I mean. The light doesn't get completely absorbed like with a matte finish... But it doesn't reflect to the same degree as gloss. But I've noticed they are starting to dull a little bit and aren't 'popping' like they could.

 

And I know what I want...thank you very much. I didn't want silver wheels.
