What coating? I like how those are kind of an idea to the cheese wheel wheels we get from the factory haha

Ceramic Coated Wheels?
Gotta know who does this kinda of stuff and what are the pro's and con's of this on a Rim?
Ceramics are usually good for heat not very good for wear. Rocks hitting the rims from driving may cause pitting issues worse than powder coating.
Curious about this though..

Sorry guys I got confused on the "Ceramic" coating. I too have this, I have about 6 coats of CQuarts UK on my rims.
I was thinking he was applying a spray on Ceramic Coating like JET HOT or something like that.
My Bad.

It creates a hydrophobic layer on the wheels that makes cleaning them SUPER easy.
I used carbon collectives wheel coating

^yeah a lot of people may think you meant like when people ceramic coat a header or something lol.
i've been interested in ceramic coatings for a while.. may try that on my paint this spring. i have used sonax polymer net shield, which does 'okay' for water beading but not that great. same goes for ammo nyc's version of a top coat. very nice but quite ceramic quality; just haven't seen ceramic coating in person yet.

Shit I wish lol!
Yeah sorry I didn't explain further. Do a lot of research because if you don't apply it evenly or correctly you'll have to sand it off

Honestly it depends on how often and what method you want to use to apply it. They have ceramic sprays now. They don’t last as long, clearly, but application is as easy as a detail spray or dying agent. I saw one that after you wash the car, with it still wet, you spritz a bit of the stuff on and then immediately rinse it back off with the hose. ?

I'm gonna try mine this weekend. I'm not sure it's quite a true ceramic coating, but it sounds like it has very good hydrophobic properties and it's insanely easy to use and doesn't streak.

I just got a bottle in the mail today actually. Sterkrazzy posted a link. It’s a new company and they are doing a free trial. 16oz, all you pay is shipping. It came out to $10.70 for me.
