    Since Brake dust is an issue, and generally cleaning wheels(outsides and barrels) and calipers is a pita, I decided to have my wheels taken off to have them ceramic coated. The fronts, backs, and barrels along with the calipers were coated with Ceramic Pro. This didn't make a drastic difference in looks when clean so I don't have pics, but the first time I clean them I will try to take video to show how easy they are to clean (hopefully lol)

    I was not able to take video because I washed the wheels at a pay and spray car wash. However with the ceramic coating the wheels were all but dry when I got home and still clean. just rinsing them with water all but cleaned them.

    it's Even more expensive if it’s lifetime and not necessarily any
    Better than the level below

    if it has to be reapplied in 2 yrs or so then it should be a lot cheaper

    That's what I've read too on the 5 year and lifetime, has to be reapplied at some point, usually 2-3 years from what I read. Guess it depends on the shop applying it and the Ceramic coating they are applying. only difference on the reapply is it is free
