C5 Wheel Armor

Did an application with this product to a brand new set of wheels that I drive to work daily. The last mile of the commute being on unpaved roads, it’s the only thing on my car that remains noticeably cleaner. I felt like I rushed the application but it works.

I’ve actually purchased C5 three times because I like it so much. First, for my previous vehicle and again for a new car for summer and winter tire/wheel setups. A large bottle will easily coat the face and inner barrel of a set of 22” wheels, with enough left over to coat some polished exhaust tips, and fancy brake calipers. It goes on and wipes on super easy, unlike some other coatings I’ve used, so it’s great if you’ve never used a coating before. C5 is nice because it doesn’t shine matte areas of painted wheels, but gives just a little bit of gloss to the shiny parts. But let’s be real, the main reason you buy this is for protection and ease of cleaning. C5 excels at keeping wheels clean and makes car washes so much easier… because cleaning wheels sucks. After coating, not only do wheels stay clean much longer, they’re almost completely clean with no scrubbing during a foam cannon and pressure wash. It was going strong after 2 1/2 years when I traded my previous car, through salty winter roads and weekly maintenance washes the rest of the time, so I’ve been happy with its durability. C5 is my favorite wheel ceramic, and it pairs great with CSL/EXO if you’d like to do the rest of the paint on the car as well.

Works exactly as described. Water, brake dust etc. nothing sticks to the wheels after application. Will use on all chrome items.

Great product easy to if you follow direction

Purchased this product about a year ago. The car I put it on gets driven occasionally. It does get subjected to dirt and grime, but only sparingly. The product was easy to apply. It's clear, so I did have some difficulty seeing where it was already applied. I let the wheels sit as described in the instructions and put them back on the car. After application, they shed brake dust pretty well, and made washing off the wheels easier (typically only needing a quick wash/rinse to do it). After a year, they are still shedding brake dust, but I do sense they are needing to be washed a little more thoroughly. Still easier to clean than originally. The product seems to do what it says!

2 years with high dust brake pads - still only use standard car wash soap. I’m kind of amazed vs other ceramic coats for wheels.

Great protection for powder coated rims. Applied this coating to a set of brand new powder coated rims in the beginning of summer it's now August 9th and still doing good . A Lil pricey but worth it . Makes cleaning the rims a breezy. All I use is a foam Canon a super soft micro fiber mitt . Gd to go ..

Great product, easy to apply with a buffer last for about 6 month. I use it constantly on my cars

The 30 ml bottle is just enough for two sets of 4 wheels. There are lots of videos out there explaining how to clean your wheels, and then apply the product. If you do a good job cleaning, the product will last the two years. I didn't have the GTechniq (PW) Panel Wipe that GTechniq recommends, so I washed the wheels with dish soap, dried them, and then wiped them down with 70% isopropyl alcohol. Application was easy due to it's watery consistency. I did it on a cool spring day, so I was able to apply the thin coat to the whole face of a wheel, before having to wipe it off with my micro fiber cloth. The box says wipe it off after 30 seconds, but 4 minutes was still okay on this cool day.

Protection céramique de mes jantes alu pour ma Volvo V60 Polestar... la pose est assez facile, pas de problème à avoir de ce côté là mais globalement je suis mi-figue mi-raisin sur la qualité du produit car je m’attendais lors du lavage au Karcher que toutes saletés s’en aille sans problème mais non! Je dois utiliser un produit detailing d’Alchimy7 pour décrasser et finir à la brosse... Pour moi je vois pas trop l’intérêt de ce produit! comme j’ai un flacon de 30ml j’ai de quoi faire mes 4 jantes d’été en 20" donc je vais réessayer sur ceux-ci en espérant avoir de meilleur résultat...

A great product. Used on my wheels and all but the heaviest coatings of dirt now just rinses off.

This product is so easy to apply (so long as you have done your cleaning prep properly first) and it has totally enhanced the freshly powder coated appearance of my wheels. They are literally sparkling like jewels and I'm surprised at how much their appearance has improved! Will be ordering more to do my wife's car wheels too and then looking at their other costings for the bodywork. Unfortunately, I don't think the phot will do the appearance of the wheels justice, but they look amazing! I have no link or affinity with Gtechnic and this review is just my humble, honest opinion. You will not be disappointed with this product

High tech product, relatively easy to apply. Keep in mind, you have to prepare your mags correctly, meaning a very thorough cleaning and the use of Panel Wipe from Gtechniq to insure optimal bonding.
