Hey all,
I want to try my had at using a coating. I am going to practice on my wheels, my thinking is, how cad could I screw up wheels... I think by my fourth one I may have it down.
So, for a person new to coatings, what one do you recommend that is fairly user friendly even if that is at the expense of some longevity.

Thanks,
Brad
 
Wolfgang Uber is very good; don't let the syringe scare you away.

I'm in the same boat...I remember there was a coating that was sprayed on lightly and you apply it that way but I can't find out what it was
 
I will also toss Pinnacle Black Label into the mix as being very easy to use for a first timer.
 
My first coating was DGNCC and it was easy to use for sure but I felt the looks went away after about 2 MONTHES so I went back to my other DG and Collinite products.

Fast forward to this past fall where I applied PBL paint coating and I'm blown away by the looks AND performance! I did apply 2 coats of it and it's holding up great, rinsless and waterless washes are extremely easy with PBL paint coating on the car!

Me and my boy did his wheels with DP WHEEL COATING and it turned out really good. That was our first time using a coating.
 
I've yet to try a paint coating, but I've been using PBL wheel and glass coatings. They were both super easy to apply, the durability is fantastic, and very easy to clean. I too want to try a paint coating and I think I'll eventually give Wolfgang Uber Coating a try.
 
Just throwing ithis out, you may be better off on a trunk lid for your first time. Curves,turns and small areas like wheels are the places where you'll get high spots instead of a flat area where you can get a feel for how the product spreads and reacts.
 
One more question. Do wheels need a wheel coating, or does a regular coating for the car work on wheels also? Thinking heat may be an issue with them as most coatings come in wheel coatings also.
Thanks
 
I like G-techniq Wheel Armor for wheels specifically ....
 
I have tried the Black Label coating, and it took a panel, maybe two to get the hang of it. Very easy. It was also very forgiving when there was a high spot.

Its been 4 months or so since I applied it, and it beads like the day after I did. The car only sees automated car washes as well. So far so good.

I have the Uber coating I am waiting to try.

I have dLux on both painted & powder coated wheels and works awesome. I also used it on the black plastic trim and the stainless steel exhaust pipes. It really does work well.
