P21S makes a great wheel cleaner, used by many german auto enthusiasts on BMW and Porsche wheels however, it doesn't seem that Ford brake dust is nearly as black and visible as most Euro brake pads. A light coat of car wax will do the trick to make them easy to wash. I have a light spray wax that is easy to apply and leaves no build up in the crevices.

For those of you that don't think the wheels are shinny enough, you can have them professionally high polished (but that will remove all the clear coat) then have them clear coated again. They will look almost like chrome and again need just light washing when you wash your truck.
Great info thanks :-)

All these look so good, I had to get mine in too. A 2012 Ecoboost. I think it looks just as good as all of yours do, haha.

Does anyone have any pictures of the 13 platinum interior in pecan? I have been scouring the web and the best I can find is the 250 with the pecan.
Thanks!
