I don't know how the black finish on your wheels has been achieved but I think mine were painted sating black. After washing I give them the occasional coat of wax (same as I use for the rest of the car) and that keeps them looking good till the first time I use the brakes!!

You don't have to clean them properly........that's the entire point of black wheels!
