Ceramic protection for ALU wheels Koch Chemie Ceramic Rims Cr0.01 (30 ml)

Ceramic protection for ALU wheels Koch Chemie Ceramic Rims Cr0.01 (30 ml)

Highly effective ceramic protection specially developed for aluminium and cast wheels. Creates a hard, hydrophobic and durable coating that protects wheels from brake dust, road dirt, salt, UV radiation and corrosion. Facilitates cleaning and significantly extends the life of the wheel surface.

Main characteristics

• Strong ceramic coating with long-term protection for aluminium wheels.
• Hydrophobic effect - water and dirt easily run off the surface of the wheels.
• Resistant to chemicals, brake dust and salt.
• Enhances the appearance and shine of aluminium wheels.
• Suitable for all types of aluminium and cast wheels.
• Low consumption with high efficiency.
• Lifespan of 12 months.

How to use

• Never apply the protective coating in direct sunlight or on hot ALU wheel surfaces.
• Work in a well-ventilated workshop or garage; never work in an enclosed space without ventilation.
• First, remove any loose rust from the wheels using Gyeon Q²M Iron WheelCleaner REDEFINED and any tar using Gyeon Q²M Tar REDEFINED.
• If necessary, mechanically decontaminate the paintwork using clay.
• You can read about the claying process in our article ‘How to decontaminate paintwork’.
• New ALU wheels do not need to be cleaned.
• A very important step is to thoroughly degrease the wheels using Gyeon Q²M Prep and a long-fibre microfibre cloth, Purestar Grass Buffing Towel.
• Always wear protective rubber gloves before application – health comes first!
• Shake the bottle with the ceramic coating.
• Drip the ceramic coating onto the application sponge with a cloth.
• Apply (if possible) in a criss-cross motion to approximately half of the outer part of the wheel and immediately wipe off with a microfibre cloth (e.g. Gyeon Q²M PolishWipe EVO or Gyeon Q²M SoftWipe EVO).
• The more complex the wheels are, the smaller the areas should be. It is better to do smaller areas and wipe immediately.
• If the temperature rises, shorten the time between application and wiping.
• To increase durability, a second coat can be applied 240 minutes after the first coat.
• We recommend changing the cloths during application, as over time the cloth will become clogged and may leave marks that cannot be removed once dry. We recommend using 2 to 3 microfibre cloths for polishing the coating.
• The microfibre cloth must not fall on the floor!
• After successful application, we recommend leaving the wheels in a warm and dry place for at least 12 hours to allow the coating to cure properly.
• We recommend not washing the wheels for 2 weeks after application; rain is not a problem.
• Subsequent maintenance of the wheels after applying the ceramic coating is very simple. Just wash the vehicle with a high-quality shampoo, such as Gyeon Q²M Bathe, and use a high-quality wheel cleaner, such as the aforementioned Gyeon Q²M Iron WheelCleaner REDEFINED.
