Default Protecting Matte Black Wheels

I just ordered a set of wheels in a matte black finish. I don't expect to have any problem keeping them clean with just plain car soap and water. However, I'd like to protect them with a polish/wax/whatever that won't alter the matte black finish by making it too shiny. Any suggestions?

Nova69 (by the way I had a 69 chevelle) for your wheels, go to my web site www.perfectautofinish.com and try the poly seal, it will protect the wheels from brake dust and other road contaminants, while you are there, please visit, glad you stopped by. Gary

Thanks, Gary.

I already have and use your Polyseal. I just wanted to be sure that whatever i used wouldn't "shine up" the matte finish so much that it wasn't matte any more.
