Best wheel ceramic?
Just finished the whole car except for the wheels.
Need to know what the best stuff is. Seems like Gtechniq C5 Wheel Armor and Adam’s UV Ceramic are strong contenders. Anybody with experience with either?

Project Farm YT does a comparison of consumer level coatings. Adam's easily beat the rest.
Brands: Adam’s, Nano Bond, Hybrid Solutions, Advanced Graphene, Cerakote, Chemical Guys, Topcoat F11Pro, Shine Armor. Ceramic coatings compared for slickness and durability after exposure to warm water, hot water, and various chemicals. |

Another vote for Gyeon. No personal experience, but based on all forum data and my own experience with Pure/Cure I am a huge fan of their products. Other than that Carpro and Gtechniq's products would be the best. I wouldn't really look at anything else tbh |

I'm pretty sure he was listing all the brands Project Farm included in the test that Adam's won. Not stating those are all recommended.
I agree Chemical Guys has very few products worth using and overall it's easier to just ignore the brand entirely since so many don't perform well at all. |

So what? You're going to get the same results with any reputable coating. And it doesn't have to be wheel specific, that's a marketing gimmick that lures people like you in. I'm actually helping you by telling you not to over think it. Pick something decent and you're done. How are people so helpless?

Pro level will outperform consumer level, but will need better prep. If youvare willing to do the prep it will be better. |

Since I always have some CarPro CQuartz UK3 laying around I do my summer/winter wheels before I put them on for the season. Does what a ceramic does and when I swap them out I don't have to spend much time cleaning the take offs.
It easily lasts for those split season months. A year of winter maybe it wouldn't last but a year of summer weather it would. |

I used Gyeon Rim for my track wheels and it works great. Brake dust doesn't really stick, and washes off very easily.

Lots of top shelf products out there these days. I grew up watching AMMO NYC detailing vids and use his products. Work great. Can be on the more expensive side compared to some of the sprays out there.
