Clean Getaway wheel lab
A coating is only as useful as the surface it covers. We identify the finish, read the spoke geometry, and recommend barrel coverage only when it earns its keep.
Two levels of protection
The lower-cost option is quick seasonal protection. C5 is the durable ceramic route, with stricter preparation and a real cure requirement.
Rapid Wheel Sealant leaves a slick hydrophobic barrier that helps brake dust and road grime release more easily during routine cleaning. It is a smart seasonal layer for drivers who want cleaner-looking wheels with less effort between details.
C5 is built for the heat and contamination wheels face. Thorough preparation allows the coating to bond directly to the wheel finish, helping repel brake dust and road grime while making routine cleaning easier. With proper care, C5 can protect for up to two years.
Finish compatibility
A polished wheel and a matte wheel cannot be treated as if they have the same surface. We confirm the finish before application.
The barrel test
The right coverage follows the wheel. Open geometry rewards a complete coating. Dense or nearly closed designs can often achieve the visible result with face protection alone.
Diagnostic 02Read the openings, then read the owner
Closed wheel faces hide most of the barrel. Protecting the visible face handles the result the eye sees and the surface that collects the most obvious contamination.
A black barrel behind silver spokes can hide dust better than a bright silver barrel. Dense spokes help too. We judge the whole visual, not one measurement.
Open modern and motorsport-style designs put the barrel on display. Wheel removal gives us complete access and makes later cleaning much easier.
The owner’s eye is the final test. If you notice a clean silver or glossy black barrel every time you walk up to the car, face-only coverage will not meet your standard. Send photos and we will recommend the coverage that fits your wheels.
Coverage changes the job
We clean and decontaminate the visible wheel surface, prepare it for bonding, then apply C5 to the outside face and spokes. The wheels stay on the vehicle.
All four wheels come off. We clean and prepare each wheel inside and out, coat the face, spokes, and barrel, then reinstall the wheels. Intricate designs require a photo review.
Non-negotiable C5 requirement
After C5 application, the vehicle must remain dry in a garage or carport for 12 hours. Disposable wheel covers add protection from dust and wind-driven moisture. They do not replace the sheltered location.
One price source. No surprises.
Add-on pricing applies when an exterior wash or detail already covers part of the setup. C5 can also be booked as a standalone wheel service.
