Obsessed Garage has a couple videos on wheel ceramic coatings. I think this is the latest one and he used Gtechnic:
Personally I’ve used Gyeon Quartz Rim which I think you are supposed to reapply every 1-2 years. It’s been almost two years and my wheels are still easy to clean so I haven’t bothered reapplying.
I used the Gyeon Q2Rim on my new Apex wheels before I installed tires. Ran them on the street only for about 3 months/maybe 5K miles with multiple washes/cleanings before I had to install my winter tire & wheel set. The rear rims, where I still had the original OEM brake pads, cleaned up really easy. Not so much with my front wheels, where I had previously installed Hawk HP+ Sport pads on new Raybestos OEM-type Competition rotors. The braking with the Hawk pads was much improved over that of the OEM pads. The brake dust, noise and rotor wear- not so much. The brake dust from these pads laughed at the rim treatment and formed a hard crust that no wheel cleaner I tried would touch, even after ridiculous dwell times. Ultimately, I had to clean small areas of the rims with a Q-tip, CLR cleaner and a credit card scraper x multiple applications to remove the caked-on brake dust. I DO NOT RECOMMEND cleaning wheels this way, although it worked for me, and the wheel finish was not damaged. I then re-applied the Q2Rim and multiple coats of ceramic wax. We'll see how it goes.
I will be replacing both the Hawk pads and the front rotors, as well as the rear brake set shortly. This time I will be using Porterfield R4S pads front & rear, along with Zimmerman rotors. As far as the Hawk pads: be forewarned by my experience.
