I'll spill a slurpee in his car if i end up waiting 10 hours on this lol JP, he doesn't give advice without experience. The question is will i do a good job applying it lol
I think ppf has it's place, but i do one of two things. Marry a car or i trade it into a dealer within 6-12 months. I considered doing my tesla because the paint is terrible, but my wife dailys it now and chips are the least of my worries now haha All 4 wheels are time attack style if you know what i mean lol
I use to care a lot about keeping cars nice, but turns out that was more stressful than the damage haha I do take amazing care of my bicycles though =) |
I use Chemical Guys wheel guard, which is an orange goop that you spread on then wipe off like a wax. I took the wheels off the car and did this, but I am not completely sold on it working. Maybe it's a little better than nothing, but the amount of brake dust is still epic, and it is a weekly event to clean the wheels.
I also have Meguiars non-acid wheel detailer in a spray bottle, so my method is to spray that stuff on, then rinse it off with a regular hose (not a pressure washer) then individually wipe each wheel down with a microfiber. I've got the process down to under 30 minutes, and I figure doing this once a week is just what it is going to take until I get some low-dust brake pads. |
There's a guy with a YouTube channel who methodically tests all the ceramic coats. He tests the consumer ones, he tests the pro ones - he does a great job with it IMHO.

That's his channel (no affiliation).
I'll save anyone on the hassle (but do check out his channel, he takes a very scientific approach, tests them over a long time, etc.). This is the top performer for consumer products. It was still holding strong when he stopped the test after two years. It actually outperformed some of the professional ones.
Not sure if Amazon links are allowed, mods can delete if not. I obviously have no connection to some Chinese ceramic coating.
