After coating, while it wasn't cloudy....but it was not as brilliant as it was when the alum was raw.
That’s what I’m afraid of.

I've used Dlux on chrome wheels with no hazing. I know it's not a true ceramic coating, but I can't see the difference.

YMMV. Many others have said they see no indifference .....
For me, it's like spending hours until the jewelers rogue wasn't black at all and the minute I applied the coating, I wish I didn't.

You will like IGL wheel. I like it on top of IGL eclipse.

After your mention of this product, I was expecting it would be off limits to me in Australia. To my surprise, Armour Detail ship directly to Australia for a very reasonable amount, so I decided to take a punt on it. Will be my next "project" when I get a week off in October.

Great product. Goes on thick. Better than DLUX and of course Gtechniq and Gyeon.

I only have one similar product to compare it to on wheels, so not sure how useful my review will be.

I'm sort of worried about the thickness, I'm still relatively new to coatings.
Does that mean thick as in its a thick/sticky liquid, or you lay it down thick?

Don’t stress over it. It’s not a hard to use coating. Have multiple applicators available as the coating does cure hard rather.

I have that covered, going to try the Gyeon or Carpro finger mitts. Last time I did wheels, I was using a suede cloth that came with the coating, wasn't ideal in my opinion.
Thanks for the support, much appreciated.
