How to Ceramic Coat Your Wheels with SONAX CC One

   In the realm of automotive detailing, ceramic coating has emerged as a revolutionary advancement, SONAX’s line of ceramic coatings have lead the way both in flexibility and ease of use. One of our most popular ceramic coatings is the Profiline CC One ceramic coating. CC One offers unparalleled protection and a lasting shine for various surfaces, including wheels. If you’re looking to enhance both the aesthetics and durability of your wheels’ finish, here’s a step-by-step guide on how to ceramic coat them effectively.
  1. Preparation is Key: Start by thoroughly cleaning your wheels to remove dirt, brake dust, and residues. Use a wheel cleaner and a brush to reach into crevices and ensure all contaminants are removed. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
  2. Surface Decontamination: Even after cleaning, your wheels may have embedded contaminants. Now to insure the surface is completely prepped and decontaminated use a 50/50 mixture of isopropyl alcohol and water, spray the surfaces of the wheel gently and wipe them down with a microfiber. This allows for proper decontamination of all the surfaces of the wheels.
  3. Application Process: Open the CC One packaging put your gloves on and open the CC One coating bottle. Apply a small amount onto an applicator pad and work it onto the wheel surface in a consistent, overlapping motion. Ensure even coverage, but avoid applying too much product. Once the coating flashes you can remove it with a microfiber cloth. Use the light to see the coating flash and make sure so wipe down each surface properly.
Pro Tip: You can cut your applicator with scissors in order to reach intricate surfaces on the wheels. Work the coating in slowly and ensure an even application.
  1. Allow Proper Curing: After applying the ceramic coating, allow it to cure for 24hrs. Typically, this involves letting it sit for a specified period without exposure to water, sun or other contaminants. Curing time varies but is crucial for the coating to bond effectively.
  2. Final Touches: Once cured, gently wipe off any residue with a clean, dry microfiber cloth. Inspect the wheels under proper lighting to ensure there are no missed spots or streaks.
  3. Maintenance Tips: To prolong the effectiveness of the ceramic coating, avoid harsh chemicals when cleaning your wheels. Use pH-neutral wheel cleaners and wash them regularly. Periodically apply SONAX Wheel Rim Sealant spray to enhance water beading and refresh and maintain the coating.
Benefits of Ceramic Coating:
Ceramic coating provides numerous benefits beyond aesthetic appeal. It forms a protective layer that resists dirt, brake dust, and UV rays, making wheels easier to clean and maintaining their finish for an extended period. This protective layer also adds a hydrophobic effect, causing water to bead and roll off the surface, further reducing the accumulation of contaminants.
By following these steps and investing in SONAX ceramic coating products, you can significantly enhance the appearance and longevity of your wheels. Enjoy the satisfaction of driving with wheels that not only look pristine but are also easier to maintain in the long run.
