    Re: 5 months after cquartz

    Most things don’t last 5 months on my cars where I live and park daily.

    I coated faces and barrels. I have now coated both my winter wheels and my summers. Since I have to swap them as the seasons change, I applied the coatings when they were off the vehicle before I mounted them.

    Re: 5 months after cquartz

    I use Griots Wheel Cleaner (the mild, green one) and a couple brushes. Once coated, clean-up is very easy.

    I might be able to get away with using only my wash soap, but have found even a mild wheel cleaner breaks up the road grime and brake dust a little faster. By using a mild wheel cleaner it doesn't seem to have an ill effects on the coating.
