BEST RIM PROTECTION EXPERIMENT: Real World Testing and Comparison

[@THE_A.RAVEN1]

I ceramic coat everything. Cars, wheels, windows, snow plows/blowers, my snowmobile and ATVs, boat, wife, first born son. You cannot beat this stuff. Seriously alien technology.

[@Funny_as_Duck]

You did a very good in-depth review. Best one I’ve ever seen in fact. Thank you for this!

[@BJP719]

Thanks for taking the time to do this review, it's greatly appreciated!

[@chrisbradley3224]

Really good video. I actually think hydrophobic coatings make it so that light water such as rain can't clean off the brake dust as easily. I noticed this on my windshield with a ceramic coating. It was so hydrophobic the windshield washer fluid didn't really clean bugs off well anymore because the surface is not easily wet unless it's totally flooded. The Sonax might be a hydrophilic type coating. The Fusso did well probably because it's fluorinated and more omniphobic.

[@CarignanDavid]

Amazing comparaison video Sam! Fusso really stood out for me! Looking forward to your 2 month update!

[@Dagasm]

Excellent video. I coated my summer wheels with DLUX last year and wanted to try something else. I think I'll go with the Soft99 Fusso this time.

[@mcneillmedia]

Fantastic video showing lots of product application and performance characteristics. Thank you for taking the time and expense to develop this! Really helpful. Subscribed! You earned it!

[@michalandrascik2162]

beautifully practical test....you deserve more likes and subscribers for such a precious work

[@joevanseeters2873]

The Fusso Coat was very impressive for a relatively inexpensive wax. I have the old version of Fusso Coat but it was difficult to work with and tough to remove until you had just the right conditions. The newer EU version supposedly is a better user experience for application and removal. I am going to get a can of that and use that as my protection on my rims from now on. It looks like it actually does withstand some of the heat and looked just as good as a ceramic coating. That Fusso Coat is without a doubt the most durable wax/sealant on the market today, hands down. Whatever magic Soft 99 puts in that Fusso Coat is amazing. Use Fusso on both your paint and your wheels and your vehicle's paint will be well protected for many years! I would imagine it would work well on anything you have such as vehicles, lawn mowers, farm equipment, motorcycles, four wheelers, etc. You can probably use it to coat other metallic objects you may have as well that you want to protect from the elements. The only thing better than the can of Fusso Coat would be a spray Fusso Coat (not the Fusso spray they have currently which is too weak compared to the can of Fusso Coat and is a maintenance topper I guess). I am talking a spray coating with the logentity of Fusso Coat but with the easy of a detail spray in application, now that would be an amazing product. The only one even close to a spray Fusso Coat that I have used personally is Polishangel Viking Spritz.

a properly thorough and scientific review - nice work

[@CRPCollaboration]

Now this a good example of products reviews! I wish all product reviews are like this. Show how to use, use it, and then include the results AFTER using it. Most, if not all others just show you how to use. Missing the most important of all- how did the product perform after using it? Thanks so much for this video. It's one-of-a-kind!

[@BryanRushing]

Great video! I’ll definitely be watching more of your videos. Were any of these worth the cost and amount of work the initial cleaning and application?

[@turrisiworldwideent.5796]

Do you have a list of the best for each category?

[@Fergus918]

That was exactly the side by side comparison I was looking for! Thank you!

[@sebaforce77]

MEEEN, this is HUGE, PROFESSIONAL and REALLY GOOD job 👍👍👍 THANK YOU A LOT - this is the best stuff on YT!

[@WintherDk]

Great video, Thanks.... What wheel stand do you use?

[@jbpasion071]

Results looking good! Keep it up!

[@budgetplan8730]

This'll be good! I've used a few (IGL Wheel, Gyeon Rim, Gtech C5, Kamikaze Stance) so it will be interesting to see how it comes out for you. Thanks for putting in the time (and no small amount of $$) for this test.

[@Andychengg]

[@jameschan1334]

Wow thats a lot of work man 👍

[@nicholasanthony-thesix11ar73]

Great job and in depth. Ive used Gyeon Rim before.

[@anidiotinaracingcar]

The rim guard, that was the SONAX Wheel Rim *Shield,* right?

[@testowykana1763]

Same question, I've been looking for the "rim guard", but I only get "rim shield" (I live in Poland).

[@jakedean8560]

Very in depth review! Great stuff.

[@anthonyscuderijr.cluchfc6602]

Very thorough! Grateful for the huge effort!! Thanks!

[@robertomaldonado6414]

From a price point perspective, what is your recommendation?

[@PeteyMcSavage]

Great job! I have tried a few coating u used they were all pretty good. Here is something crazy there is a Japanese pro line called kisho its $10 for the wheel coating but shipping is expensive but it’s best I used it is a self level coating you apply like stance one direction and then don’t touch it. The coat it leave is so much thicker and more durable it’s like opti clear coat restorer but leaves a ceramic clear coat. It was very unique.

[@SourceGarage]

I have seen them and would definitely like to test them in the future. There are so many out there. Need more time and wheels and cash

[@jacksonvang2946]

On where can I get the fussa coat? Pls

[@Dj_Ganty]

Fantastic review thank you good sir from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@totieso]

That Sonax seems amazing

[@SourceGarage]

yeah I am most interested in that one for sure so far

[@benkneisley3001]

When will the damaged wheel stands be posted for sale on your site?

[@Jack102498]

Thanks for doing this. If you had to pick just one what would it be?

[@SourceGarage]

Honestly all the ceramic coatings are holding up well and the best wax is soft99 fusso coat. Any of them are good at this point, but it has been a pretty short time.

[@adamcoe]

That Alibaba stuff is unreal, I mean for like 8 bucks why not give it a shot. Just got a brand new 24 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV and that's what is going on the rims. Was thinking Gyeon Rim as I'm a fan of their other products but come on, how could I not at least give Turllin a go?

[@ashc3765]

I used the Gyeon mohs on my rims as I had fair bit left over after doing car. And after a year they still as good as new with just basic cleaning. Glass black wheels too so there not the easiest to keep clean without some sort of coating.

[@bm_wuratli6883]

i never hear sonax rim guard which one it is?*

[@1.thomasalmeida]

What’s the name of those wheel stands? You spoke too fast and I didn’t catch the names.

[@FreshlySnipes]

I just ordered a new set of Forged BBS wheels for my ‘21 STI… they are arriving w/o tires. If I do the ceramic coating before the tires are put on will the weight stickers adhere to the wheels properly when they are balanced or do I need to do the ceramic coating after the wheels are balanced?

[@SourceGarage]

I would let them be balanced first. It shouldn't really effect the weight stickers adhesion, but I wouldn't want those hands and whatever else will touch the rim in the balancing process to mess up your coating. By coating after you can polish out any imperfections from the balancing process and start with a perfect finish and coating

[@FreshlySnipes]

@@SourceGarage makes sense. I ended up going with the Kamikaze ceramic wheel coating, I appreciate the info! I’m using my factory Yokohama Advan tires on the new wheels and since they are currently on the car it might be a hassle to do the coating after they are installed. As long as the balancing magnets don’t fall off I should be good lol. I’d like to find some balancing magnets that aren’t bright silver for my new wheels tho.

[@Tekno242]

Would you recommend putting on ceramic coating and then fusso on top, or, one or the other?

[@SourceGarage]

no just use one

[@999Joseph]

Thank you for your service 👌

[@BadgerGT500]

Hey man great video! I have a GT500 and the brake dust is out of this world. Which product would you recommend to keep brake dust off as much as possible?

Well looks like Turtle Wax Seal and Shine would not work WELL on wheels.......stay with coating if possible for wheels.

thx

Sonax isn't anything special happening you can see the huge run in it still after the 5 week check!

[@sammango5005]

need ceramic brake pads

[@Komeuppance]

Ew. No.

[@Steve-pc6cb]

The coating will outlast the junk oem wheels.

[@hutchesonchris42]

Can you not call them a "rim"?

[@ellisrochlin2267]

Wow , mental test. 🫣 You overloaded the Sonax so it had a slightly thicker protection on that section
