I'm sure it is. the key is getting the wheels extra clean before doing so.

Of course the Sonus Wheel Cleaner is safe for black wheels. I've been using it for 9 months without any issues.

It is perfectly Safe.

However I would use Carpro Iron X instead. Safe for wheels and designed to remove all Iron particles/contaminates from your paint.


Spray Wax is perfectly fine to use but wont last long at All.

take the time to put a Sealant on them something like Hydro 2 would be perfect and only takes about a minute.

or for better long term results coat the wheels with something from one of the many great coating companys.

Opti Gloss would be a great one to try

.....then buy some Power Stop front brake pads - NO dust. Same stopping power. Awesome! Before these I had dirty front wheels after two days of driving. Now...they stay clean until the next wash week later!

I'll second that the wheels need to be clean first! Otherwise, it's a pain!

Powerlock is amazing! I started using it not to long ago. just doesn't last too long. I usually top the powerlock with some Collinite 845.

It is generally safe to use spray wax on 19-inch black wheels, but it is important to check the manufacturer's instructions and recommendations first. Some wheels may have a clear coat or special finish that could be damaged by certain types of waxes.

It's also a good idea to test the product on a small, inconspicuous area of the wheel before applying it to the entire surface. Additionally, it's important to use a dedicated wheel cleaner and tire shine to avoid damage and ensure proper and safe cleaning.
