💦 Detailing "Ceramic Coating Hyperwax" on wheels?

[Lead Pipe]

I want to coat my wheels before I put them on the car for the spring. I was originally going to buy a legit ceramic coating for the car but figured I'd give Chemical Guys Hydroslick a shot. It's $40 and I can buy it at Walmart. It's supposedly a synthetic wax with Si02 suspended. It it even worth coating the wheels with?

If you want to reapply every month then sure.

I removed the wheel only commentary

I 2nd this.

And to help keep things fresh some Carpro Hydro2 Lite isn't a bad thing either. super easy to just spray on while you wash the wheels and rinse off right away. will give them that little bit of extra protection between washes

Should have left it. Is Hydroslick shit?

From some of the videos I've seen, Hydroslick is not very durable

for a little more money you might as well do a real ceramic coat and be done with it. I used the Adams ceramic wheel kit on mine and it worked really well.
I get all sorts of melted rubber flying into the wheels when I track the car and they always clean up like new.

Seems like it doesn't hold up to harsh chemicals but as far as washes it seems ok.

Chicago auto pros uploaded a video after 3 months of winter driving. The Hydroslick is pretty flat.

There are other products in the same price range that would be better both for the paint and the wheels ( if you want 1 product to apply to both ).
Any of the spray on rinse off SiO2 products will need to be reapplied to the wheels every other wash or every month or so.

Wound up taking a flyer on a $25 chinese ceramic coating from amazon after not being able to find the smaller sized C5. Reviews were favorable. Shine seems good, application was easy. I may die from the fumes. We’ll see how durable it is.

Love the color on those wheels

Fumes build character.

Perhaps doing this next to the furnace wasn't the best idea?

Wait you actually clean your vehicle?

Wait you actually clean your vehicle?

Just the wheels.

I tried to explain to him that he has high end wheels on his car...that are spotless...in front of crusty calipers and rotors....I had no success in getting through.
