Next time you coat your wheels with a wheel coating, leave it untouched. Then use your spray and rinse sealant on the other and you will see exactly what I mean. That’s the only way I can describe it.
I don’t bother using them on my wheels for that exact reason.
I'll go out on a limb here and say any coating will work, you don't have to use one supposedly designed just for wheels.
I've now coated two sets of wheels using the non-UK version of CQuartz. The first was the summer wheel on my previous car and the current application is on the winter wheels for my current car. Based on my experience with these applications on a daily driver, the summer wheel application easily lasted two seasons and was going into it's third. This included washing every week or two with a mild wheel cleaner and experienced at least a couple Autocross days. The winter wheels held up nicely through quite a bit of snow/salt/winter crud and only being washed 2~3 times all season due to weather. This was their first season and the coating shows no signs of degradation.
The coating makes them really easy to clean and the only reason I still use a wheel cleaner is both cars are German with performance brake pads. Those things dust like crazy and a wheel cleaner tends to break down the brake dust a little better than regular soap and makes the cleaning process very easy.
Hi everyone..
I have 2 hellcats and 1 scat pack rims coming my way soon.
All 12 rims are matt black!!!
Can I use Dlux on those rims w/o making them shiny?
Mr Tommy
I prefer GYEON Q2 RIM but that's just me. Will darken them and give them a satin finish.

And second question---
All 3 have matt hoods.
They need to be cleaned, decontaminated and coated.
Should I go with Dr Beastley's matt coating kits or use a different brand?
1. The Scat pack has a wrapped hood, roof and trunk. Not sure if spoiler is wrapped but its matt black.
2.One Hellcat matt hood is painted.
3.The other Hellcat---not sure if wrapped or painted. It came from factory with matt hood. So gather it might be a wrapped hood.
Tom
Thanks...
Will check it out!
I have large bottle of Dlux and was wondering it this will do but I do want these rims coatings to last long time if all possible.
Tom
Yes you can use DLUX on them without making them shiny. You can use any wheel coating. It will make them look richer.
DLUX is a good wheel coating and it will outlast some of the other well known brands.
As far as the matte wraps well you are just going to wash, panel wipe and protect.
You can use something from dr. Beasley’s, the same coating you are using for the paint or a dedicated coating (Gtechniq Halo, Cquartz Skin, PBL matte, Gyeon Matte).
I just use soap & water to clean my wheels. I use a spray coating on the wheels and touch them up with wet wax after washes. Also this is where a spray on rinse off product is great for wheels. Work smarter not harder.
Thanks everyone---Great info!
