I also have a Black Sierra 1500 Crew Cab 4x4 and had my truck and wheels ceramic coated and I drive that all year round and it holds up nice even in the winter here in Michigan with the snow and salt on the roads! |

I can see where it's a great idea but with the heat cycles does it last as long as it normally would?
If you do have to re-apply after a yr or two is there any special prep that's required? |

Not a true ceramic coating, but I use McKee's 37 hydro blue pro si02 on my wheels. After washing, just spray it on the wheels including the barrel and rinse. It helps make it easier to clean and a ton easier to dry.

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. |

Swap out the pads for powerstop z26's.
Yes, with a durable hydrophobic coating on top (Gtechniq Crystal Serum Black & EXO) and yes. |

Like others above, I had my wheels and car professionally done. It has really cut down on swirl marks on the car and makes the wheels much easier to clean. They gave me CarPro Reload to help maintain the ceramic finish. I put it on a few times a year. It seems to work well and it is very easy to apply.

Ceramic Coating for wheels and replaced brake pads with PowerStop. Zero dust and easy to clean for three years. I plan on doing the same to my new 2021 when it arrives.
