Favorite/Easiest to use wheel coating?
I have heard good things about CarPro Hyrdo2, but it isn't really a "coating". However it does appear to be very easy to use. At this point I have been planning on picking up some McKees Wheel Coating, but wanted to see what you guys think.
Thanks!

HydrO2 is a great product for quick and easy protection... but it isn't quite as good as a coating. The benefit of HydrO2 is how quick it is to use and reapply. The benefit of a coating is durability and even more chemical resistance.
We like CarPro DLUX on wheels, and even use regular CQuartz and CQuartz UK on painted wheels with great results.

Re: Favorite/Easiest to use wheel coating?
I have PBL Wheel Coating on my wheels right now, put it on back in April. Still looks great!. I was trying to choose between that and McKees. I called down to Autogeek, and ask who answered the phone, off the top of my head can't remember who. Asked what they would pick out of the two. He said PBL. I ask why, he said it looks better. I am sure the McKees is top notch, this is just my experience. And all I wash with is soap and water.
Also this was my first wheel coating.

Zach hit the nail on the head about hydro2. Stuff is great. I like to use McKee's wheel coating or PBL wheel coating. I have used Gtechniq C1 on wheels too.

Gyeon Rim is working nicely on both a set of chrome wheels as well as a set of painted/clearcoated wheels. Been a little over a month I think and wheels still come clean with spray of water from hose. Wiping wheels with white cloth after hose-down results in little to no dirt on towel.

Re: Favorite/Easiest to use wheel coating?
Why I love and use Hydro2 on my wheels, and any wheels is because wheels have so many nooks and crannies, and curves and ridges. Trying to hand apply anything to them is a pain. With Hydro2, I do not have to touch the wheels, and coverage will be evenly applied. I can apply Hydro2 to a wheel in about 60 seconds. Between moving the hose, lets say 5 minutes to do all 4 wheels. Im probably being conservative on that estimate. And of course they look great with Hydro2!
