Applying a clear coat on your wheels is a great way to protect them from environmental contaminants and keep them looking new for longer. But what happens when the clear coat itself gets chipped or scratched? Can it be repaired, or is there a way to protect it from getting damaged in the first place?
In this blog we discuss these points and give you some practical tips on how to protect your wheels from those inevitable dings, scrapes and scratches.
Is Clear Coating Your Wheels Worth It?
Pros
- Makes wheels easier to clean
- Keeps wheels looking new for longer
- Protects against environmental pollutants
Cons
- Can easily scratch – causing unsightly blemishes
- Can take a long time to apply
Your car’s wheels are both functional and stylish. Repairing them is expensive, so it makes sense to protect your wheels.
Clear coating provides a protective layer that keeps your wheels looking new for longer. It’s also easier to clean brake dust and dirt off the surface of the wheels.
But small scratches and curbs can easily damage the coating. The end result is a ratty-looking wheel – just the opposite of what you want. So, while clear coating is a good idea, you’ll want to protect the coating itself to make it worth your while.
