Satin Wheels Not Getting Clean

Of all the years of detailing my own car and getting to a point settling on all the car care products that work really well for me (pretty much all the Carpro/Koch Chemie/Geist/Bilt Hamber products), I'm stumped with what I've experienced today.

I recently sold my 789M gloss black wheels and replaced with satin gunmetal wheels.

I was excited to be able to use my EZ Detail brush set (couldn't use this on gloss black due to certainty of scratching) - but noticed it wasn't cleaning it well at all. So I bust out the Microfiber Madness Incredibrush Flat AND the Wooly Wormitt, and still no dice.

I could take a clean rag and wipe dirt off after having cleaned the wheels.

The chemical for wheels I've settled on is P&S Brakebuster (my favorite is Sonax Wheel Cleaner Plus - but that gets super expensive).

I've never really detailed anything matte or satin, so what am I missing here? I get satin will have a more rough texture, but this stumped me today.

All help appreciated!
