Why use Gtechniq C5 Wheel Armour?

Based on similar technology as our C1 Crystal Lacquer and C4 Permanent Trim Restorer, C5 provides the best protection for wheels, whether standard or alloys.

Because of C5’s unique, exceptionally fine surface rheology and chemical bonding mechanism, its performance is outstanding. The former property gives the coating its excellent stain and contaminant resistance, and the chemical bond formed between the wheel surface and C5 makes the coating durable.

1 to 2 years durability
Repels brake dust making your rims very easy to keep clean
15ml is sufficient for rims up to 17". Select 30ml for larger sizes

Application

Before starting, ensure that you have sufficient product for the job. If you are coating outside faces only, 15ml will be sufficient for rims up to 18". For all other instances we recommend the larger 30ml. Please note that because this is an inorganic coating, it will resist extremely high temperatures so you can also use on brake callipers
Do not dilute
Apply at a temperature above 5 degrees celsius and not in direct sunlight
We recommend wearing protective gloves to prevent the product drying out your skin
If you are applying indoors ensure that there is adequate ventilation
Make sure the surface to be coated is entirely free from fats/oils, or previously applied products – for this we recommend wiping your clean rims with Gtechniq Panel Wipe
Use the lint free application pad supplied to spread the coating onto the surface of your rim
Once you have spread the product onto a single rim, immediately remove excess product using a Microfibre Cloth
Allow the coating to cure for 12 hours before getting wet
C5 is safe to use on all standard fitment rims supplied with new vehicles inluding satin and matte finishes (C5 will not add gloss) and rims that have a bare metal polished look as these will be finished with a clear coat that C5 can bond to
We do not recommend using C5 Wheel Armour on polished, unlacquered rims in countries that salt roads for ice prevention
The coating requires no special maintenance and should last for around two years
When wheels are coated avoid using acid wheel cleaners, coating longevity will be improved if wheels are cleaned with normal car shampoo or citrus degreaser
Use C5 Wheel Armour within 1 year of purchasing
Store opened bottles in a dry and cool storage area that's out of direct sunlight
We recommend only using opened bottles within three months of opening

C5 Wheel Armour

Excellent service in terms of price and delivery from In2detailing, as usual. The C5 product from Gtechniq comes with clear instructions and is easy to apply. A couple of things to note; be frugal with it’s use as it’s easy to let too much out if the bottle at first and then run out (the product doesn’t drip from the bottle as you may have seen with other coatings online, but rather it tends to pour straight out!). The other thing to watch out for, and the instructions do allude to this, is to not leave the product to flash off for too long. The initial cure is quick(!) and you will struggle to flatten it if you leave it too long before buffing. Other than that a good product and it will be interesting to monitor its longevity over the coming month / year.

Excellent product

Have used this on my two MX5s over the last 5 years or so (every couple of years) and it really makes a difference when coming to clean the wheels - any dirt/brake dust seems to come of much more easily. Also use it on the brake callipers and the brake disk centres where it appears to help reduce rusting.

Great product but be careful with application

Very easy to use as long as your not misled by people on the internet. I was under the impression that you need zero pressure to buff and level the coating but that just isnt true. Ive been left with a few minor high spots on one wheel before i realised it needs light pressure not zero pressure. Nonetheless highly recommended
