Ceramic Coating for Wheels: 3 Reasons to Protect Your Wheels with a Ceramic Coating
Your vehicle’s wheels endure a lot of constant exposure to road grime, brake dust, dirt, and water. Over time, these elements can lead to corrosion, fading, and general wear that dulls their appearance. To ensure your wheels stay in top shape, applying a ceramic coating can provide them with a layer of protection that makes all the difference. While many people focus on protecting their vehicle’s bodywork, the wheels often get overlooked. Here’s why you should consider protecting your wheels with a ceramic coating, and how it complements the benefits of PPF.
1. Protection Against Brake Dust and Dirt
One of the main reasons to consider ceramic coating for your wheels is to prevent the accumulation of brake dust and dirt. Brake dust is made up of small particles from the brake pads that, over time, can cling to your wheels, causing discoloration and degradation of the finish. The build-up of brake dust not only dulls the shine of your wheels but can also be corrosive, slowly damaging the material.
Ceramic coating acts as a protective layer that repels dirt, water, and contaminants. By creating a hydrophobic surface, the coating makes it harder for brake dust to stick to the wheel’s surface. When the coating is applied, cleaning becomes much easier, as the dirt and dust simply slide off the surface with minimal effort. This added convenience means less time spent scrubbing your wheels and more time enjoying the ride.
At RMA PPF, we only use Profilm PPF, which offers excellent protection, and combining PPF with ceramic coating ensures that your wheels are shielded from the harshest elements.
2. Long-Lasting Protection from Corrosion
Wheels are exposed to a variety of environmental factors, including road salt, rain, and UV rays. These elements can cause oxidation, which, over time, leads to corrosion and deterioration of the wheel material. Corrosion not only affects the structural integrity of the wheels but also makes them look old and worn.
A ceramic coating adds a protective layer that prevents these corrosive elements from making direct contact with your wheels. The ceramic layer forms a strong, invisible barrier that resists moisture and corrosive contaminants. Even when exposed to road salt during winter months or harsh weather conditions, your wheels are protected, ensuring they stay in pristine condition longer.
While ceramic coating works wonders for wheel protection, pairing it with Profilm PPF offers even further protection, as PPF can safeguard your wheels from physical damage like chips and scratches, in addition to environmental elements.
3. Enhanced Appearance and Gloss
Not only does ceramic coating provide excellent protection for your wheels, but it also enhances their appearance. After application, ceramic coating imparts a glossy, shiny finish that makes your wheels look new and polished. This is especially important for high-end or custom wheels that you want to maintain in excellent condition.
The glossy finish provided by ceramic coating enhances the look of your wheels, ensuring they stand out as an attractive feature of your vehicle. Additionally, the hydrophobic nature of the coating prevents water from forming streaks or leaving spots, maintaining a smooth, gleaming surface.
If you want your wheels to shine consistently, applying a ceramic coating helps keep that glossy finish intact for longer periods. With Profilm PPF protecting the body of your car and a ceramic coating on the wheels, your entire vehicle will look immaculate.
