C5 Wheel Armor

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.

One of the best available wheel coatings. Dirt (and water) just beads right off during maintenance washing.

Applied over the weekend. Went on extremely easy. Used almost all of a large bottle on 5 wheels 17” both inside the barrel and on the rim face for my Bronco. Will update as time progresses on longevity but initial application was easy.

This tiny bottle is expensive, but it works. It's been a month since I have applied this wheel armour to the wheels of my Mercedes E350. I can tell it dramatically reduces the brake dust built up on the wheels. It's expensive. It's worth to give it a try. It will be a five stars if it comes with a larger volume at this price!

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 ..

This brand in general is great for the money. Any bad reviews are from people not knowing how to use this product. It’s not just throw it on. Takes some prep work so please research how to use these before you start. It’s a whole process but when done right I’ve seen better results from this brand than on cars I’ve paid $2k to get done.

Plenty of reviews already on performance and application ease, so I won't go there. First application of just the face and outer barrel of 21" Audi Sport wheels took just over 80% of the bottle. I have some similar design but different color way 22's that are next and I plan on using a microfiber cleaning cloth for glasses similar to the MagicFiber ones. I attribute the high bottle utilization on the included cotton applicator pads that half disintegrate on a single wheel.

Looked great but did nothing to keep brake dust from accumulating on my rims, and did nothing to help them come clean again. Drive through car wash, truck looks great, wheels look terrible. Every time. The Gtechniq ceramic did wonders on the truck body, but this nothing at all for the wheels

I applied Gtechniq C5 Wheel Armour roughly three weeks ago, and I am thoroughly impressed with the results. It went on smoothly and has provided an amazing level of gloss and protection to the wheels. Despite the usual road grime and brake dust build-up, they still look fantastic, and cleaning them has become remarkably effortless. It’s holding up brilliantly so far, highly recommended for keeping your wheels looking spotless with minimal effort.

S'applique très bien. J'ai réussi à faire 4 jantes en 17 pouces intérieur/ extérieur. Le nettoyage a la main est grandement facilité. Ça reste quand même cher par rapport à la quantité

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.

I applied this to my black rims and my white calipers. As they tend to get really caked with mud and brake dust. Now all it takes is a quick wipe with a microfiber and they come clean and shiny as new. No need to scrub when I wash my truck. I left a tiny little spot(where you cant see easily) to see the difference and right away you can see the dull spot! I am picky about keeping my truck clean and this makes keeping the rims clean! Also applied to my caliper cause they are white, brakes dust and everything wipes off so easy and the brand new again!

Whether its any better than any other ceramic coating difficult to say. You dont get much for the money but spreads easily . The question I can answer and the Catch 22 , how long does it last. It gets good reviews on Youtube which is why I bought it
