> [@cougarspeed](#): > > So one of you guys with more experience with wheels help me out here… I started to prep the wheels for paint but I realized I could achieve a super cool brushed look. How should I maintain this look? Wax? I don’t want them polished. They look rad right now. I have always used Wolfgang Metallwerk Concours Metal Sealant.
