Use wax. I have Methods on my rig and had to remove some hard water spots from them. Wax took the spots right out and left a slight shine to them. People have ask if I had the wheels powder coated. Try it out in a small area to see if you like the look. I would post a picture, but my truck is at the dealership.

Harley makes a special matte cleaner called Denim Cleaner - it works very well. I own a black denim RG and I have found that to work better than CG stuff - the CG stuff is more like a sealer. That might help you

Shine Supply has a wheel and suspension specific ceramic coating called Beadlock that will make it a little more of a rich finish.

Here's a pic of a method wheel half coated:

My wheels are a little dirty but you get the point. It’s like a haze is over there and can’t get them to really shine up so they look more black if anything.
