No special prep is needed, the surfaces just need to be very clean.

CQuartz 3.0 is VERY easy to apply and remove, you can do all 4 wheels and calipers in less than one hour, then you have to let the ceramic coat cure for at least 24 hours and can't get it wet while its curing.
Every 5th or 6th washing I spray my wheels with Gyeon Wet coat and rinse off. It acts as a sacrificial coating and seem to extend the life of the original ceramic coating. You can use your favorite SIO2 spray and rinse coating. It doesn’t have to be Wet Coat.
