Additional Information
Feynlab® Ceramic and Wheel Caliper was developed to protect from harsh conditions of vehicle wheels and turn wheel cleaning into easy mode!. This THICK & Durable ceramic nano coating invites extreme conditions because it was designed for high temperatures and a constant barrage of intense contamination.
Ceramic and Wheel Caliper Benefits:
With an extremely high solids content (70%), Feynlab® Ceramic and Wheel Caliper will stand up to the daily beating delivered by road contamination and brake dust.
FEYNLAB’s™ true nano technology and bonding chemistry allows for an unparalleled level of protection since the formula penetrates further into the existing paint structure than anything else available.
Durability & Application Surfaces:
Durability: 1 Year
Application includes 1 component layer, reaching an overall film build between 1-2 microns.
APPROVED SURFACES FOR APPLICATION ONLY: – DO NOT apply to unapproved surfaces
- Clear-coated painted wheel rims & calipers
- Chrome surfaces
Shelf Life:
Unopened – 1 year. Opened – Use within 7 days.
Included:
30ml (1oz) FEYNLAB® CERAMIC WHEEL & CALIPER
Cautions:
Always wear respirator & gloves during application. Ensure application area is free of loose contamination.
Paint Preparation:
Thoroughly clean wheels & calipers using FEYNLAB® PURE WASH vehicle to remove all topical contamination. Follow with a topical decontamination clay treatment using FEYNLAB® PRIME. If necessary, use a ferrous iron removal product to remove all embedded iron deposits. After cleaning and polishing to desired level, remove all polish oils using FEYNLAB® PANEL PREP to ensure optimal bonding and durability of the coating.
Directions:
Prior to application place vehicle in a well lit, temperature controlled 10°C-30°C (50°F-85°F), & contamination free environment. Have plenty (6 or more) new microfiber towels, 2 or 3 microfiber sponge applicators, 1 foam applicator on hand BEFORE application.
Shake WHEEL & CALIPER vigorously for 2 min before use. Open the bottle and allow the coating 1min of air exposure.
CERAMIC WHEEL AND CALIPER – Application Instructions:
- Apply a small amount of CERAMIC WHEEL & CALIPER to a microfiber applicator and spread evenly over the wheels or calipers. The amount of product should be enough to evenly coat the area without over saturation.
- Allow CERAMIC WHEEL & CALIPER to dwell for 25-30min. Dwell times over 40 min make removal MUCH more difficult.
- After application is complete, remove coating in same pattern as application with a Microfiber towel.
Recommended Maximum Area of Application:
Coat 2 full wheels, or 4 wheel faces, then wipe off; following the same pattern as application.
Best Practice: Combine WHEEL & CALIPER with OVERCOAT. This powerful combination provides wheels with: durable protection and extraordinary hydrophobic and self cleaning traits, including incredible ease of maintenance.
Final Inspection:
Be sure to carefully inspect all finished panels for any leftover coating residue (high spots) during the final wipe. Commonly edges, emblems, and other tight areas may contain some remaining residue. High spots are much easier to remove if caught within a 20-40 min window after the final wipe, than later when the coating has set and curing has started.
Layering:
Although one layer of CERAMIC WHEEL AND CALIPER is sufficient to achieve the 1 year durability on clear-coated painted surfaces, another coat may be applied to any area to gain additional thickness.
To layer CERAMIC WHEEL & CALIPER, wait at least an hour after final wipe off of first layer. For best results and performance wait 1-3 hours between second later. Do NOT layer after 3 hours.
Infrared Curing (Required):
Bake each panel with an IR lamp to reach a surface temperature of 60°C (140°F) for 15min at a distance of ~ 30-36″ from the panel.
Post Application Instructions:
- Avoid any incidental water exposure for 24 hours. If it occurs, gently wipe water off the surface.
- Avoid all chemicals including car washes for 7 days.
- If the vehicle must be released in wet conditions before 24hrs after the final coating, then apply FEYNLAB® DETAILER after 2-4 hours of curing time.
- Wash & Maintain using FEYNLAB® PURE WASH or FEYNLAB® PURE RINSELESS.
Climate Notes:
All FEYNLAB® Coatings are subject to different dwell and curing time windows due to humidity and temperature. In General, the higher the humidity level the quicker the coating will cure. If humidity level approaches 75% or higher then consider lessening the recommended dwell and wipe times for the coating.
Additionally moving air will decrease coating dwell times for areas it contacts. Therefore, it is recommended to stop all moving air as much as possible during coating applications to ensure consistency for all portions of the vehicle.
Coatings are best applied in temperature controlled environments of 10°C-30°C (50°F-85°F), with humidity as low as possible.
Frequently Asked Questions
Wheel ceramic coating is a protective layer that chemically bonds to wheel surfaces, creating a barrier against brake dust, road salt, and environmental contamination. The Feynlab® formula cures to form a durable shield that withstands high temperatures from braking systems while maintaining the wheel's original appearance and making routine cleaning easier.
Ceramic coating for wheels provides superior durability and heat resistance compared to traditional wheel wax. While wax may last a few weeks, ceramic coatings maintain protection for over a year with proper care. The ceramic formula bonds at the molecular level and withstands brake heat that would melt conventional wax products.
Yes, ceramic coating wheels excels in high-performance applications where brake dust accumulation is severe. The coating's heat-resistant properties and chemical resistance prevent brake dust from bonding permanently to wheel surfaces. Performance vehicle owners report significantly easier cleaning even after track days or spirited driving sessions.
Ceramic wheel coating typically lasts over a year with proper maintenance and regular washing. The longevity depends on driving conditions, brake pad type, and maintenance frequency. Professional detailers report excellent durability even on daily drivers, while track vehicles may require reapplication sooner due to extreme conditions.
Wheel coating is specifically formulated to be safe for brake components including painted calipers, brake lines, and suspension parts. The coating withstands brake system temperatures without affecting braking performance or component function. Many users apply it directly to brake calipers for added protection and easier cleaning.
Ceramic coating on wheels enhances the original finish by adding depth and richness to the color. Matte wheels appear deeper and more saturated, while glossy wheels gain additional shine. The coating preserves the factory finish appearance while providing protection, making both stock and aftermarket wheels look their best.
Ceramic coating rims application works on aluminum, steel, chrome, and painted wheel surfaces. The coating bonds effectively to factory finishes, powder coating, and aftermarket wheel treatments. Proper surface preparation ensures optimal adhesion regardless of wheel material or finish type.
Ceramic calipers require minimal maintenance beyond regular washing with appropriate cleaners. The coating's self-cleaning properties reduce the need for aggressive scrubbing or touch-ups. Periodic inspection ensures the coating remains intact, with reapplication only necessary after extended service life or extreme use conditions. For thorough wheel cleaning, consider our wheel cleaner.
