Defend Your Wheels Against Brake Dust and Road Grime with GTECHNIQ’s C5 Wheel Armour

Whether you have a set of factory alloy wheels or you have customized your ride with a set of aftermarket wheels, your best defense for keeping them clean from brake dust and road grime comes from our friends at GTECHNIQ.

The scientists at GTECHNIQ have developed a specialty formula for your wheels and brake calipers 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 develops these unique formulas in a laboratory, and their “smart surface” science is based on the latest breakthroughs in nano and supramolecular chemistry. Each of GTECHNIQ’s surface protection detailing formulas are based on the type of surface the product was designed for, working at the molecular level to penetrate and fill microscopic imperfections. C5 Wheel Armour is designed to chemically bond to the alloy surface of the wheels, brakes and exhaust tips by forming an impenetrable barrier to protect 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, remove each wheel first to give it a proper cleaning and prep on the inside of the wheel before applying a coating of 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.
