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?

My detailer used Gyeon Rim. I then added Gyeon Cure. Looks great and brake dust falls off with a hose.

Thanks for your helpful post. You’ve added a lot of wisdom to this forum with your post.

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.

I also use Gyeon Rim with very good results. It's super slick and as RussV stated, the brake dust washes right off. I applied myself, which was very easy. As with anything, prep is key so make sure you do a thorough clean and decon first. I like Gyeon products, so I recommend Q²M Iron, Total Remover and Prep before applying the ceramic coating.

Second the Gyeon recommendations. I use the same and follow up after intermittently with Wet Coat.

Man why CG lmao Stop recommending that crap.

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?
