Thanks for testing and giving our Wheel Coating a chance, Matt! Can't wait to hear your long term thoughts. You are correct that the reason our coatings come in a non transparent bottle is for the stability of the coating, for both our Wheel Coating and PRO Quartz Coating. Without the non transparent bottle we couldn't put the stamp of "12 months unopened" with certainty. The coatings will start to react with light, and slowly cure. One thing you can do is grab some heavy grit sandpaper and sand off the side of the bottle once you use it, since by that time it does not matter if the coating reacts with light you only have roughly 30 days to use it and have a positive user experience. The grabbiness in the first wipe you are experiencing is generally going to be a characteristic of any coating that is high solids, meaning less solvent carrier, specifically ours using hydrocarbons as the carrier. If the coating is slick during initial removal that generally means there is more solvent carrier, which can be a good and bad thing! With wheels, you want the most durability possible, so the higher solids coating means the thicker coating film build, means it will weather through more abrasion and wear. You are certainly not wasting your time on the second layer, 30 minutes is within the optimal 30-90 minute timeframe for the coatings to crosslink together.

It’s really nice to work with. It’s not that granny upon wipe off. The slickness afterwards is very nice. And the hydrophobic’s are great. Good stuff thus far.

Your videos are never boring. I don’t care how many times you coat wheels. I will watch. Can’t wait for you to finally get that beauty on the road.

Just saw this video. Coincidently I just applied this yesterday. I like how it goes from grabby to slick. It’s a good indicator of where you have wiped and where you haven’t if you can’t see it well. Today the applicators are rock hard similar to C5 which has been my go-to. Excited to see how it is to live with. Very confident in Brad’s judgement.

I appreciate your honesty with your struggles. I struggle with anxiety and driving. I flipped a car (hit a patch of ice and went over a rail) and that made it almost mentally too much to overcome. Then we had our daughter 2.5 years ago and it got so bad I didn’t want her to be in the car with anyone. I know it’s not exactly what you’re struggling with but I can absolutely relate. As far as the wheel coatings go I’ve tried around a dozen and hated most. At our shop we use Modesta BC06 a sprayable self leveling high temp coating and they recently released a hydroponic top coat if you’re not into sheeting, and I love it. It crushes everything else I’ve used both pro and consumer. Just trying to help. Really enjoy the videos and content and hope you have a great Sunday.

Happy with their standard Quartz coating so far. Have to do the wheels in a few weeks, but hoping for some pretty good longevity.

Such a beautiful wheel design….very BBS RK old school look to it. And, of all colors, SILVER?! I though black wheels were a requirement for all cars built after two thousand fifteen.

Porsche should just add that torque gun as a dang option with a new vehicle purchase it probably reduce the price of half I think 2000 bucks is more than reasonable from a production selling unit standpoint!

Nice video. In Bradley we trust 👍. I’ve use their pro paint coating, wheel coating and glass coating. I look forward to the performance of them. I would consider trying Pro on one of the cars you own. Slickness is on par with CSL but better hydrophobic’s and best of all one layer. Bradley had a good line of products. And the last one I would say to try is the tire dressing Tire+. Not going to lie but it looks better than OG Tire. The wheel coating is nice. You won’t need a topper like Gliss. It’s inferior to what the coating can already do. You will be happy with it.

Wheel wells are dumb and pointless to coat, but I'm gonna do it anyway! LOL. The anal retentiveness and thoroughness of Matt makes me look like a choir boy, when it comes to my anal retentiveness and thoroughness! 😂🤣 This is why I support your business and watch hours long video's of you doing what you do!

Hope all is well matt Hope driving gets easier for u just take ur time it will get easier I use to have the same problem some days are easier than others but it has gotten better for me with time

I use the original renn torque tool. Drill is slick but overkill. Matt, you need to line up the crest with the valve stem. Got lucky on this one as it was almost dead on.

I just picked up a set of Knipex Diagonal Cutters for Plastic (# 72 02 125), they are great for flush cutting zip ties and are sharp/precise enough that they actually work perfectly for denibbing tires. I did half a tire with a blade and half with the Knipex and I can't tell which is which.

If this guy ever saw my SUV coated in mud so thick you can’t even tell the color of the vehicle he might flip 😂😂😂 went into one of my garages to look at my Porsche rims coated in brake dust and then went to fridge to grab beer and closed garage 😂😂😂 back to watching Chaterbate girls online.

I use Saran Wrap on my fingers to put the lube on the centerlock surfaces. Just cut a piece for each wheel.

I know you despise those IK sprayers quite a bit but it is the only way I apply Brake Buster with success using a 10:1 ratio. Marolex sprayers are far superior with the spray pattern on the Industry Ergo and I especially love the auto lock feature because it works great spreading rinseless wash. The Foam Pro 2 does a great job of producing decent foam for wheel cleaning for now but once I have access to running water I'll use my PF22 and Active pressure washer. I'm about two months out of moving into our next rental property and cannot wait to outfit the garage with Swistrax and other garage accessories!

@@ObsessedGarage Ammo has came out with a whole new line of coatings since ammo skin and reflex. His coatings did very well in a video by Chicago auto pros a while back. His claims are also not ridiculous like the carpro and gtech make great products. However, the claim for CSL stand alone is 5 years not being topped with EXO. That claim is very unrealistic and in most real world test it failed in less than 2 years. For someone keeping their car long term it’s not a good coating. Someone like you who has a couple of cars and mostly garage kept and you maintain then regular and sell them within a year or two that coating is perfectly fine and it’s something you like. I personally believe there are better coatings on the market than carpro and gtech has. Over the last 5-7 years other companies have caught up to them and some are just better and more durable. Ammo’s new coatings are fantastic IMO. It just comes down to personal preference and with some ease of use. I have tried probably 15 different coatings in the last 2 years and there are so many user friendly coatings on the market as well as coatings that are still pretty good in higher humidity.
