Protecting new wheels

[Souldriver]

So I have some new custom powder coated wheels coming in but unfortunately the first season they will see is winter. I want to protect them more than just with the normal wax i use. I really want to doa ceramic coat in the spring but i have to get through the winter first

So how do I do this?

Do I get a dedicated wheel wax and use that just for now?

Buy some CQuarts UK and use that on the wheels and let them know when they do the coating in the spring?

Im not sure which one would protect better as im worried about the salts and stuff they use in the north east

Why not just do the ceramic coating as soon as you get the wheels?

Ceramic coat them that's a option we offer here at the shop and I highly recommend it we use the cquartz and all my wheels are ceramic coated on my cars

We could do the ceramic coating on them for you before we mount them up with rubber and ship them out.

It actually helps out with beading water off and keeping brake dust from caking on.

Well i would cquartz it right away but when and if i do the whole car it will be gtechniq. I dont know if the cquartz can be taken off easy and replaced. There is also a money issue that need to be in place.

The only way to take it off is to use a rubbing compound

This.

Did a coat of C5, then 24hrs later added a coat of C2 and then two further coats of C2. Should give a good 12 months protection.

CarPro Dlux, it's $40 made specifically for wheels and trim and it's extremely easy to apply, do some google searches if you need help

There are a lot of good options I use the cquartz as a good buddy who is a high end detailed recommended me to it and it works very well.


I'm looking into a cermaic coating for matte and satin finishes currently
