Thorsager Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Looks like a great product! I'm thinking about using it on our Jeep Wrangles wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philhibner Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 (edited) What's the difference between this and the paint coating kit? Am I able to use the remaining ceramic coating from my paint kit on my wheels? When will that SK mini be available?

SYMAWD Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 What I would like to see is it applied on something that produces a bunch of brake dust and then see how much is removed just by power washing. Preferably on wheels that are silver (not black or dark gray). I think that would be the best way of demonstrating how much easier this will make cleaning.

SSilver07 Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 wow!! that is amazing! can't wait to do that to my wheels. My wheels are all scratched up and need a polishing too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csikx Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 May I ask why it's so expensive? I get it comes with towels, but wheel coatings with applicators run about $35-40. Mariner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because most competitors in that price range are for a 15ml bottle of ceramic only. Our kit comes with a 50ml bottle plus all of the other accessories - microfiber towels, Coating Prep, Ceramic Boost, Applicators, and rubber gloves. tbarn and Rich 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GXPaycheck Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 (edited) Is this the same as the regular paint coating? How does it affect stick on wheel weights? Edited December 14, 2016 by GXPaycheck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan@Adams Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Is this the same as the regular paint coating? How does it affect stick on wheel weights? No, this coating is a stronger 9H-rated coating compared to the 7H paint coating, for more durability for the harsh environment that wheels are subjected to. Having a 9H coating like this on paint can sometimes require wet sanding the coating off, so that is why we chose an easier-to-work-with coating for the painted body panels of the vehicle, so that customers new to this technology do not have any issues with application - our Paint Coating can be removed by machine polishing. Wheel Coating will not affect wheel weights. Your tire shop will still be able to remove them if necessary when re-balancing a tire or mounting a new tire, as it does not affect the adhesive. If you are coating a brand new wheel, I would recommend to have the tire mounted and balanced first, but it's not necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in theory, if one was so inclined, we could apply the wheel coating to the paint? Extra hardness can go a long way me thinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanx Dan, my biggest concern was whether the weights would stick to the coating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRC Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Will this work on black, satin wheels? I'm going to watch the video, as well, but I wanted to see if there was quick feedback. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to watch the video, as well, but I wanted to see if there was quick feedback. Thanks! I believe it's caution advised on satin wheels as it may cause unwanted shine. It was in the video or I read it somewhere. So will it work? Yes. Will your wheels stay satin? Maybe. BRC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have Adam's same car with those Brembo brakes, so I know exactly why he made this product! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shane@detailedreflections Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 The Brembo's definitely leave a ton of brake dust. I know the Lotus wheels are next to impossible to keep clean for that reason. I just don't know if I want to go through the trouble of jacking the car up and pulling the wheels off. The jack points aren't the easiest to find on it. And the idea of leaving them off for a day makes it an extended time frame to do a wheel. Wait a day to finish it. Move to the next wheel. That being said, I'm still debating coating the entire car this spring. I go back and forth on it personally. The cost is up there for the three kits (which I may be able to skip the trim kit since it doesn't have much of it on it). We will see. I've never been displeased with my results using conventional methods. But this is all very tempting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
