it's not difficult at all.
Read the directions and wait the "flash time"
goes on and comes off super easy.
nothing to worry about !
Really wasn’t that bad of a job. The applicators started leaving lint towards the end of each wheel using the smooth side but it all wiped off when buffing with the MF towel. Having to wait 12 hour sucks but I don’t want to rush it and effect its longevity.
heavy chemicals.... possible optimum power clean @ full strength a couple times.
I applied it to my wheels in Feb of 2018.... albeit on the Camaro which is a garage kept summer vehicle.
I plan to coat the wheels on my truck soon... if it wasnt 100* this week I would be doing it while I'm off.

[MENTION=344]Gav'sPurpleZ[/MENTION] I used ironX and carpro reload for the first time this weekend. Definitely made a difference. I think I used over half the bottle of IronX...though a lot of that just blew back in my face then made it to my eyes as I was sweating bullets in the heat :lmao:
carpro reload is awesome, made the surface more smooth, but also made the high spots in my coating more visible lol. I'm still mad at myself for that. I think one weekend in August I'm going to buff the coating off and try WG 3.0

you can try removing the high spots by hand with a MF towel and some compound.
what size iron x ? 3-4 cars out of a 1000ml bottle is about right. depending on size and amount of contamination.
glad the process worked for you. the reload should help stretch the coating another year ( another application or two before winter )
I bought the Pinnacle Black Label kit from autogeek. It has the paint coating, wheel coating, and glass coating. I'm going to polish the car with chemical guys V34 and V36 polishes for surface prep.
Has anyone tried this? Claims to work for 2 years. Saw it on amazon
Is that protein powder?
J/K What's up with that packaging.......
Post some pictures when done !

I have not. Check YouTube for reviews
CarPro dlux or gyeon trim should do the job as well.
Gave the GTO a much needed once over this weekend. At least as much of a once over as I was willing to give it in 110 degree heat 
Foamed it w/ honeydew to loosen up all the surface junk. Then washed w/ chemical guys strip wash, then gave it a quick clay w/ a clay mitt and some mr. pink soap (first time using a clay mitt, definitely wont be my last), then sprayed the entire car (even the wheels and exhaust tips) with Hydro2 lite, and then today finished it off with a top coat of Reload for some extra protection and slickness.
I gotta say I'm quite impressed w/ the Hydro2 lite. SUPER easy to use, the results are instant, and I gotta say I was quite surprised and impressed w/ the level of slickness the paint had w/ the just the Hydro2. I noticed it when I used it on my BMW last week as well, but I just figured the ceramic was helping to contribute to it. But even on my bare GTO it felt just as slick. Combine that w/ the Reload and I feel like my GTO will have plenty of protection for months to come.
