Can I and should I coat my wheels?

You can and you should. Your wheel is broken down to the wheel itself, calliper, disc and suspension arm. As you drive along a vortex is created from the spinning wheel which drags dirt from the floor and places its all over these parts. This dirt is the heaviest and grimiest dirt which not only is a nightmare to get off, it can cause damage when removing.

 

Ceramic coating your wheel, calliper and suspension helps this dirt from gripping to the surfaces in-turn makes it not only easier to clean, but safer.

My wheels are made of... can I still coat them?

Whether your wheels are painted, powder coated or bare metal they can be coated. Ceramic coating bonds at a molecular level and will not affect the finish or texture. Neither should it weaken or damage the surfaces it adheres to. On materials that have a matte finish, coating should reduce aging over time and benefit the material.

I have ceramic discs, hubs and centre locks

Certain chemicals can cause staining on these surfaces. Generally, too strong wheel cleaners and anything caustic will do it. By coating these items you are helping reduce the ability these chemicals have on those surfaces. They are not a be all fix but certainly a cost-effective life preserver.

 

If you items are already stained, they will remain stained. We have not found a cure for this.

How do you safely remove my wheels?

At our Christchurch, UK based unit we have sunken ramps to allow us to drive on. Once lined up we can safely lift your car on all 4 corners at once and remove your wheels. We only use hand tools to prevent damage and also stock a digital torque gauge and breaker bar for centre lock wheels.

 

All wheels are labelled, cleaned, coated, and professionally torqued back on to your car. We advise all customers to recheck their torques as we do not take responsibility.

How do I safely clean my wheels?

We recommend treating you wheels like paint work. The less touching the better. First pre-wash the wheels then using wheel shampoo, clean the lower half. Blast off, roll forward half a turn and repeat.

 

Always use a standalone bucket for your wheels and designated wash mitts.
