Wheel coating
A wheel coating is a ceramic coating formulated for wheels, engineered to withstand brake heat and resist baked-on, corrosive brake dust so cleaning is quicker.
What it means
Wheels live in a harsher environment than the body panels around them. Braking throws off intense heat, and brake pads shed fine, abrasive, iron-rich dust that lands hot and bakes onto the wheel surface. Left there, that dust corrodes and stains the finish. A wheel coating is a ceramic coating formulated specifically for this job. It is engineered to tolerate the high temperatures coming off the brakes and to give the wheel a slick surface that brake dust and road grime cannot grip. A coated wheel sheds that contamination far more easily, so a rinse and light wash lifts most of it instead of scrubbing. It is applied to the visible face of the wheel and, ideally, the inner barrel as well, since the barrel collects the most dust and is the hardest area to keep clean.
Why it matters in Singapore
Dense Singapore traffic means constant braking, and constant braking means a steady load of hot brake dust on every wheel. Frequent downpours then mix that dust with road grime into a stubborn film. A wheel coating turns a slow scrub into a quick rinse, and it shields the finish from the corrosion that eats into uncoated wheels over a car's COE life.
How Revol Carz handles this
Revol Carz cleans and decontaminates each wheel first, lifting baked-on iron and brake dust before anything is applied. We then coat the face and, where access allows, the barrel with a ZeTough coating suited to the heat a wheel sees. The wheels are left to cure properly before the car goes back on the road.
