Ceramic Wheel Protection in La Crosse, WI
Wheels take more abuse than any other part of your vehicle — brake dust, road salt, tar and the grit that comes off the road every time you drive. We apply ceramic protection to the wheel faces and barrels so contamination doesn't bond as tightly, and your wheels rinse clean with far less scrubbing.
Benefits
Why Drivers Add Wheel Protection
Wheels are the fastest part of a vehicle to get dirty and the hardest to keep clean. Here's what ceramic protection changes.
Brake dust releases more easily
Brake dust doesn't bond to a coated wheel the way it does to bare clear coat, so it rinses away instead of baking onto the finish.
Road grime and salt rinse off
Wisconsin road salt and winter brine don't grip a coated surface as tightly, which makes winter washes quicker and less abrasive.
Easier to keep clean
A coated wheel stays cleaner between washes and comes back to a shine with less product and less scrubbing.
Faces and barrels
We protect the visible wheel face and the barrel behind the spokes, which is where brake dust and grime build up out of sight.
Factory and aftermarket wheels
We coat factory alloys and aftermarket wheels. We'll check the finish and condition of yours first and tell you honestly what protection will do for them.
A complete protection package
Wheel protection pairs with paint, glass and interior ceramic treatments, so the whole vehicle is protected rather than just the paint.
The Process
What's Included
Wheel protection follows the same sequence whether it's added to a coating package or booked on its own.
- 1
Wheel cleaning
Wheels are cleaned front and back to remove loose brake dust, dirt and road grime.
- 2
Iron and tar removal
Iron remover breaks down bonded brake dust, and any tar or adhesive residue is dissolved off the wheel.
- 3
Surface prep
Faces and barrels are dried and prepped so the coating has a genuinely clean surface to bond to.
- 4
Application
Ceramic protection is applied to the wheel faces and the barrels, including behind the spokes.
- 5
Cure and aftercare
The vehicle is kept dry while the coating sets, and we go over the right cleaning products with you before pickup.
