Black wheels and detailing, is this one of the most pita jobs for a detailer?
We can understand why;
- On a black color brakedust and contamination immediately neglects the wheels finish.
- On some wheel designs its difficult (or impossible) to reach all areas,
even if you have all the right brushes and gear. Then when done its not a 100% result
and this leaves the wheels looking with a dull appearance.
Recently Arnoud at AutoCare Detailing Garage opened his paintbooth and this was a good oppurtunity to let repair and paint the Nissan GT-R wheels. After letting cure the paint this is a great chance to make this step - by - step video to guide you on how to polish and protect these black glossy wheels with a ceramic coating.
A proper and professionally installed ceramic or quartz wheel coating offers longterm protection against brakedust, heat, UV and weathering. It offers added shine and easier maintenance (also on the hard to reach areas). Ceramic or quartz coated wheels will look cleaner longer since the surface is very nonstick.
Watch this video till the end to learn all steps of the process, from polishing, to preperation to protection, its all there.

What did we do;
✅ 1st step: Polishing the wheels with the Menzerna 2500 and Yellow Medium D-Con Delta Pads 75mm on the Krauss Tools S75 Mini DA Polisher.
✅ 2nd step: We thoroughly clean the paint with IPA (isopropyl alcohol) to remove all oils and residues. This ensures optimal adhesion of the coating.
✅ 3rd step: We carefully apply the first layer of the N-XTC Quartz Wheel Coating using a microfiber applicator. After initial curing we wipe off the coating residu with a short piled microfiber towel for an even finish. Make sure all residu will be gone to prevent so called "High Spots". Don't push too hard, the goal is to leave as much coating as possible on the surface.
✅ 4th step, Curing layer 1 with the Krauss Tools 300 AX Infrared Dryer for 6 minutes on 60 C with ca 60 CM distance. then we leave this to cure for min. 2 hours.
✅ 5th step, Applying the 2nd layer N-XTC Quartz Wheel Coating.After initial curing we wipe off the coating residu with a short piled microfiber towel for an even finish.
✅ 6th step, Curing layer 2 with the Krauss Tools 300 AX Infrared Dryer for 6 minutes on 60 C with ca 60 CM distance. then we leave this to cure completely overnight.
✅ 7th step, Check the results and hydrophobity of the installed N-XTC Quartz Wheel Coating, let us know how you like it?
