That or 22ple VM1. DLUX is a trim coating that can be used on wheels

Another vote for Dlux for wheels and is a super headlight protector.

Which applicators do you recommend using?

The Carpro DLX does come with a number of 4"x4" Velvet MF Sheets which should be adequate for doing all the wheels.

Yes, it is intended for use on wheels, and plastic trim. I've heard it claimed that because it can endure such high temperatures, that it can even be used on Motorcycle exhausts.

you can ceramic coat plastic trims and other external things as well? I thought it was a paint thing. How long does it last before reapply. And do you need to remove it and reapply?

Yes. It will make your black trim darker and keep it that way for more than a year. If it’s textured plastic even better as it doesn’t really require leveling the coating, just apply evenly and move on. I also used it on headlights and taillights, exhaust tips, some engine bay components that get wet with a wash.

Damn, with such complex spoke design this will be a lot of work.

I 100% agree. And just to comment on this...

For anyone reading this into the future - when looking at custom wheels, instead of only looking for the "cool factor" as it relates to the design - consider a cool looking wheel that is also fast and easy to clean.

The cool factor for an intricate to clean wheel will wear off after you start cleaning the wheels on a regular basis. Definitely take the time to coat these rims and then in the future you should be able to clean them using only normal car wash solution.

Future cleanups, I might suggest a nice set of Wheel Woolies, and some soft brushes sourced here.

Here's some suggestions for quality tools that will make cleaning your wheels fast and easy.

Damn, with such complex spoke design this will be a lot of work. Wheels like that are better done with a sprayer but then it would have to be a pro doing it.

Cleaning intricate wheels with Hydro Foam will become easier after a few cleaning.

PBL is a great wheel coating. A little tedious applying to intricate wheels, but will pay off in the cleaning department. On the other hand, Hydro Foam will clean and protect your wheels in one step. If your wheels are really dirty, I would suggest using IronX to do the heavy cleaning and follow up with Hydro Foam.
