New wheels need coating!
I'm back to the detailing forums after a brief hiatus. I received new wheels today! TRD FJ SE Anthracite alloys.
I am planning on coating them thoroughly before I even mount tires on them. I have a myriad of sealants and waxes but I feel like I want a coating on them since they are brand new, never installed.
I am considering CarPro CQuartz, DP Wheel Coating, Pinnacle, or Duragloss.
Which coating on the market these days should give me the longest lasting, most durable protection.
I know it's been asked many times I'm just looking for the most up to date opinions. Thanks so much for your time!

I wanted to get them for my Taco. Those wheels look like they would be awful to clean if they were uncoated.
Regardless of what coating you go with make you take them to a good tire shop.

I went with Carpro CQuartz UK on my 22" Chrome Factory Repro Wheels. Some have said Carpro CQuartz DLX is supposed to be an even better choice, better high heat abilities-resistance they say.
I agree, find the most durable product will be a wise choice, and money well spent. You might get other suggestions on coating products such as Optimum, or GTehniq, etc. They too will no doubt be better at protecting versus any more conventional wax, or sealant IMO. Attachment 32779

Maybe look into this product? CQuartz Dlux Plastic & Rubber Coating (SKY Kit)
I had excellent result with the product on Toyota Wheels
Hope this helps you, sir

This is where I'm leaning today. Thanks!

Pay a pro and have the wheels coated with Opti-Coat Pro. Wheels see harsh conditions and lots of chemicals, so you want the most chemical resistant coating out there.
As an alternative you can try CQuartz DLUX.

I would have to drive at least three hours to the nearest OC Pro installer!
Today I'm taking a hard look at CQuartz UK. I think I will coat the wheels and my roof. My question now is, is Reload really necessary? I've always been skeptical about the whole......."you have to use product x to maintain this coating!"..
