Can anyone recommend some good ceramic coating brands that can be used on alloy wheels? I saw Joe Achilles talk about this (he applied it to his new wheels) and he talked about it helping to prevent brake dust sticking to the wheels, or something like that. If anyone has applied ceramic coating to their wheels and can highlight the benefits it would be good to hear.

Cheers,

Karl

All the major ceramic coating brands have wheel specific coatings. They don't prevent brake dust from sticking to the car they just make cleanup much MUCH easier. It's important to keep your expectations in check.

I have my wheels coated and maintenance washes are so quick and easy now. I just use a brush and standard car shampoo. Takes me just a few minutes now compared to no coating. blowdrying is also much better with the coating on.

Ok great, thanks for the input. I'll do some research on this.

Marc,

The reviews on the C5 Wheel Armour sounds good, especially it's resistance to higher temperatures.

Do you have any idea how much of the liquid will be needed to coat all 4 wheels? Will you be applying two applications also?

Thanks,

Karl

I did the entire car, and wheels, with the McKees37 products. Very easy to use. I pulled the wheels and did the entire wheel off the car. There is still brake dust, but doesn't feel like as much as before the coating. Very subjective though, I did them almost new.

Overall the car feels clean most of the time with very few washes to keep it up. Vs me washing the a car every week to two, now its every couple months at the most.

I've bought some Gtechnic C5 now. As I bought some separate 763M alloys (currently in a spare room) I'll be applying the C5 to those as soon as it arrives. Need to buy a few other bits to help apply the coat in the most effective way.

Car is getting a front end PPF and all over ceramic coating after it arrives anyway 👍🏻
