Should You Ceramic Coat Your Wheels?

Brake dust bakes onto wheels and eats into the finish. A coating makes it rinse right off.
Is ceramic coating wheels worth it?
Yes. Ceramic coating wheels creates a heat- and chemical-resistant layer so brake dust and road grime don't bond, making cleaning dramatically easier and protecting the finish from corrosion. Wheel coating is included in Slums Level 3.
