C5 Wheel Armour from GTECHNIQ is Your Best Defense Against Brake Dust and Road Grime

If there is one item on the Corvette that enthusiasts love to show off, it’s got to be the wheels. Whether you have a great looking set of factory stock rims, or you went aftermarket to give your Corvette a custom one-of-a-kind look, keeping those wheels as clean as possible is always a challenge with brake dust and the road grime we encounter when driving on a daily basis.

Our friends at GTECHNIQ have just the specialty coating needed to protect your wheels and keep them easy to clean. It’s called C5 Wheel Armour and it features an exceptionally fine surface rheology that creates a chemical bond with the wheel that makes it very hard for dirt, stains, and brake dust to adhere to the wheel’s surface. The C5 wheel coating will maintain its integrity with temperatures of over 1100 degrees Fahrenheit, so it’s also suitable for coating your brake calipers and exhaust tips as well.

GTECHNIQ’s “smart surface” science combines the latest in nano and supramolecular chemistry backed by laboratory testing and real-world results. Each of GTECHNIQ’s surface protection formulas is based on the type of surface the product is applied to, working at the molecular level to penetrate and fill microscopic imperfections. C5 Wheel Armour chemically bonds to the surface of the wheels, forming an impenetrable barrier against brake dust and road grime.

C5 Wheel Armour is easy to apply, however you’ll want to prep the wheels first with GTECHNIQ’s Panel Wipe to remove any previous polish and residue, and then buff clean with an MF1 ZeroR Microfiber Buff Cloth. For best results, consider removing each wheel first to give it a proper cleaning and prep before installing the C5 Wheel Armour to the rims. With the wheels off the car, it makes it much easier to fully coat the inside barrel of the wheel as well as coating your brake calipers.

Now that you’re ready, soak the included AP1 Lint Free Applicator Pad with several drops of C5 Wheel Armour and then spread the coating onto the surface of the wheel, applying no more than 1/2 a wheel each time. Once the coating has been spread evenly on the surface, buff the residue within 30-60 seconds with an MF1 Microfiber Cloth. You’ll want to allow at least 12 hours of curing time indoors before exposing the coated wheels to the elements. C5 Wheel Armour will protect your wheels for up to two years, making your rims and calipers easy to clean and maintain.
