JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

What do you guys use to clean your black wheels??

I know our water here in bossier leaves stupid amounts of water spots after I wash which shows on my black wheels..I usually just take the towel that I dry the body of the jeep with and wipe all the water drops off of them and that works really well for me. So pretty much a damp cloth

ditto, I wouldn't use anything too strong if you have a flat black finish. It is possible to turn satin into a semi-gloss if you get to gung-ho about it. On the other hand, if you have a glossy wheel, anything too abrasive could cause scratches in that finish, too. I'd follow these guys suggestions if you are worried about it

I think mine have a painted finish. I use some wax on them and that helps prevent water spots the next time I wash them. Wax is alos great on windows, especially the front one in the rain!
