    Personally I would use OC on them and then clean them as normal. The OC will lock in the look and protect them for an extend period of time.

    I would do a test spot on the inside barrel edge to verify the look is still matte and acceptable.

    I have used OPticoat on wheels and it has been bullet proof. They have laster over 14 months. I recently applied EXO v2 to my Daily Driver and it is in its 2nd months and holding up well.

    Make cleaning the wheels so easy.
