Ceramic Coating Wheels: Process and Benefits

Wheel Ceramic Coating: Process and Benefits

Ceramic coating your wheels provides long-lasting protection against brake dust, road grime, and harsh contaminants. Unlike traditional waxes or dressings, a ceramic coating bonds to the surface, creating a durable barrier that makes maintenance much easier.

The Process

1. Thorough Cleaning – Wheels are deep-cleaned to remove brake dust, tar, and road film.
2. Decontamination – Iron and tar removers are used to dissolve embedded contaminants, ensuring a smooth surface.
3. Polishing (if required) – Light polishing may be performed to refine the finish and maximize coating adhesion.
4. Application of Ceramic Coating – The coating is carefully applied to the wheel surface, including faces, barrels, and behind spokes when possible.
5. Curing – The coating is left to bond and harden, forming a strong protective layer.

The Benefits

• Long-term protection from brake dust, chemicals, and road salts
• Hydrophobic properties that repel water and dirt
• Easier maintenance with less scrubbing during washes
• Enhanced gloss and a clean, freshly detailed look for longer
• Extended lifespan of the wheel finish compared to unprotected surfaces

A wheel ceramic coating not only improves the appearance of your vehicle but also makes ongoing upkeep much simpler, keeping your wheels looking their best with minimal effort.
