Protect your rims from brake dust, road salt, and UV fade with a durable ceramic wheel coating — added right to your next detail.
Your wheels take more abuse than almost any other part of your vehicle. Every drive kicks up brake dust, and — especially during Michigan winters — road salt and brine cling to the rim and slowly dull the finish underneath.
Wheel ceramic coating, sometimes called ceramic coating for rims, is a durable, glass-like layer applied directly to the wheel face. It creates a hydrophobic barrier that helps brake dust and grime rinse off instead of baking on, and gives rims a deep, wet-look shine that a standard wash can’t match.
At Chariot Detailing, ceramic coating for wheels is available as a $49 add-on to any detailing package or full ceramic coating service, so you can add rim-specific protection to whatever service you’re already booking.
A standard hand wash cleans what’s on the surface today. It doesn’t stop what builds back up tomorrow. Ceramic wheel coating is built to handle the specific problems wheels face:

It’s easy to assume a wheel is just another metal surface a hose can rinse clean. In practice, wheels take on two of the most corrosive things a vehicle deals with more directly than almost any other panel.
Brake dust isn’t just surface grime. According to the EPA’s brake wear research, brake pad material sheds fine metallic particulate — including iron, copper, and other metals — with every stop, and that particulate can bond to and etch an unprotected wheel finish over time if it isn’t rinsed off quickly.
Michigan winters add a second layer of exposure. AAA’s national survey on winter driving found that de-icing salt and brine cause roughly $3 billion in vehicle rust and corrosion damage every year in the U.S. — and wheels, sitting in the splash zone right behind the tire, take on more of that exposure than almost any other part of the car.
A ceramic wheel coating doesn’t eliminate brake dust or road salt exposure, but it creates a slicker, more chemical-resistant barrier that gives both far less to grip onto — which is why coated wheels hold up better between washes than a bare or waxed rim.

Wheel ceramic coating is available as a $49 add-on to any detailing package or full ceramic coating service.
Most wheel coating add-ons take an extra 30–45 minutes for a full set of four wheels, depending on how much brake dust and buildup needs to be removed first.
With regular care, ceramic coating on wheels typically holds up for several months before it needs reapplying — significantly longer than wax or spray sealants, which wear off within weeks.
We offer wheel ceramic coating as an add-on to our detailing and ceramic coating packages, since it works best once the wheels have already been washed and decontaminated. Contact us at (517) 816-1381 and we’ll help you pick the right package to pair it with.
No coating makes a wheel completely dust-proof, but ceramic coating creates a smoother, more slick surface that keeps brake dust from bonding as tightly — so it rinses off easier at every wash instead of baking on.
Yes. Tire shine and wheel wax sit on the surface temporarily and wash away within a few weeks. Ceramic coating bonds to the wheel finish itself, giving longer-lasting gloss and stronger protection against brake dust, salt, and UV exposure.
