2021 540i M Sport 20 in black matte wheels and cleaning

I cleaned my 20 in black matte wheels with the Jay Leno's garage wheel cleaner following directions and the product did not do a great job. So I read the reviews again because I was confused as to why it got great reviews and noticed one person wrote that it made their powder coated wheels dull.

Although, I didn't notice any dullness to the wheels, I still was wondering if my wheels are powder coated. Couldn't find any info from BMW or otherwise on whether they are painted or powder coated.

Anybody know if they are? Or anybody have any issues with that wheel cleaner or others on those wheels?


Thanks!

Your wheels are matt black, can't get much duller. However, I've never used that product before, but I can't imagine it's much stronger than the Sonax wheel cleaner I've used for years on multiple BMWs.
