Thank you! It is a very rare occasion when we see chrome wheels here at the shop, but we'll definitely keep that one in mind for when something comes in.

That's a personal preference decision!!

The satin will be more forgiving...if it were me, I'd go for the satin face!

Thanks again the car is s63 Benz which has a lot of brake dust and just trying to hide it a little bit

I always recommend coating on satin wheels!!!

Thanks. Just hit with with a good wheel cleaner like Gyeon Iron or Sonax Wheel Cleaner Plus and you should be good to go.

If they're looking "grey", then they're swirled up and the only way to fix that is with machine polishing...which is very challenging to say the least.

Hard to say since this video was done 4 years ago. Based on the sizing though, my guess would be that it's off of a SUV model.

Satin

I'd recommend Kamikaze Stance Rim Coat...here is a good tutorial on it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p5aon9mDx7_Gl4E.html

Typically the satin finishes have better durability.

I find satin easier to maintain than gloss...

It really depends on the wheel. If you have plenty of space to work with, then I would recommend one of the Gyeon brushes.

No. Once that satin finish has been turned even a little glossy, you can't go back.

You'd have to polish it off, which might be quite challenging! If the coating is on a matte / satin wheel, then you'd just need to give it time to wear off since polishing would most likely alter the finish.

ESOTERIC - Fine Auto Finishing Ok thank you just what I imagined you'd have to do

Howard...sounds like a great plan to me!!

ESOTERIC , thank you again for the information

My Matte Black wheels I noticed today have some spots on them from the tire dressing the dealer put on before I took delivery of it yesterday. What do you recommend to get the spotting off? Will an ultra fine polish take it off? Or a cleaner of some sort? I want them perfected before I apply the Gyeon Rim. Thank you, Howard.

Yes, I would definitely be up for something like that! You could contact me directly at todd | at | esotericdetail | dot | com.

Yes it can...

I was planning on using geyon iron for entire car then geyon prep and finish with geyon wet coat, first time using the products and new to all this, so wanted to start out with something safe and easy.

What car are you using it on?

ESOTERIC - Fine Auto Finishing 2018 ZL1 1LE

I wouldn't use the Iron on the matte wrapped hood unless you have it wrapped in paint protection film. I peeled it off of my 1LE, and couldn't be happier!

We don't use any acidic wheel cleaners, and we don't recommend using them.

If they are gloss wheels, then yes.

@@Esotericdetail they are satin wheels dull black finish

That’s because your wheels probably cost $10 each. When you buy wheels for $5K, 10K or more, then you probably want to preserve as much as possible the value and take care of your wheels properly, just as good as I imagine you would care for your teeth (going to the dentist can be expensive). If you wonder why someone would buy expensive wheels, well, the short answer is because the probably can. Or they want to.

Perfectly safe. Just dedicate a specific wash mitt to wheel duty only.

Wich one is better gyeon mitt or kamikaze sponge? In terms of delicate and easiest way of cleaning?

Flip a coin on that one! If you cut the Kamikaze sponge in half, I think it's a little easier to use on the faces of intricate wheels.

Ok I understand that sonax wheel cleaner plus, full effect and gyeon iron is for iron deposits but, What is a good cleaner for heavy dirt and grime? Or this would help?
