Brand new wheels just arrived, what now?

[Timmy_Jones]

I have a beautiful set of satin bronze Apex wheels that just had tires mounted. What do I do? Hand wash and wax? Does anyone recommend a ceramic coat? Really want to protect and keep the beautiful satin finish clean. I still have a week or two of crap weather, so no rush!

I had put 3 coats of CMX before. it made it easier to clean after track days and other drivings.

I personally did 3 layers of CarPro DLUX + 1 layer of CarPro Gliss on my set

Heard great things. Will be using it on my wheels.

Everyone will have their personal preference. Like myself using a product that a friend of mine sells:

I've used this kit on all of my wheels and they've held up great. Can offer a discount code too if thats your thing.

@APEXRaceParts any recommendations? You guys make some beautiful wheels. Can’t believe the design and color in person!

Another vote for Carpro Dlux. Super easy to use, and so far has held up on my Titan7's for a year+ now. Whatever you decide, go with an actual coating and not something sprayable.

Keep in mind whatever ceramic coating you use will make them slightly glossier. It won't be a huge difference but it is noticeable.

Naturally there's a lot of varying opinions among the team, but there was some general agreement on 2-3 coats of CarPro DLUX + 1 CarPro Gliss!
