Opti coat or CQUARTZ
Hey guys i wanna use one of these on my wheels but I have a quick question..
I have matte black wheels and I was wondering if after I apply one of these sealants, will the wheels end up being glossy? I wanna keep my wheels matte so idk whether this stuff will change the appearance of the finish. Also, which one is better lol? Thanks in advance guys! ![]()

I personally use GTechniq EXO on matte with no change on the finish. http://gtechniqna.com/exterior-coati...ybrid-coating/ |

I have Cquartz and Reload waiting in my garage to be applied to my entire car. I'll update once I try it out. I'd say if you're worried about the matte finish try Reload first. Shouldn't be an issue as it can also be used on plastic trim etc.

Reload is an amazing product. Will be using cquartz tomorrow, but you'll be more than happy with using reload on your wheels. Will not affect the finish

Opti coat on the wheels for sure, here some Opti coated wheels I did.
![]() Opti coat doesn't add gloss and add's a bit of satin to matte wheels but test in a inconspicuous area and see if you like it. CQuartz actually has a more darkening effect which is great on regular clear coat but not so good on satin and matte/frozen paint schemes. Reference: I am both a Opti Coat certified installer and CarPro CQuartz certified installer. |
