GTECHNIQ C5 Wheel Coating is a Ceramic Coating developed specifically for wheels. The product forms a hard, chemical-resistant layer that prevents brake dust and road contaminants from bonding to the wheel surface, simplifying cleaning and prolonging the appearance of the wheels.
With a documented durability of up to 2 years under normal driving conditions, GTECHNIQ C5 offers a cost-effective alternative to recurring wheel treatments. A 30 ml bottle is sufficient to treat a complete set of 17" wheels.
The product is built on the same ceramic technology as GTECHNIQ's well-known C1 and C4 Coatings, adapted for the high temperatures and mechanical stress that wheels are subjected to. See more GTECHNIQ Coating products in our range for complementary paint care.
What is GTECHNIQ C5 Wheel Coating and why choose it?
GTECHNIQ C5 Wheel Coating is a ceramic-based Coating intended exclusively for wheels. Unlike conventional wheel lacquers or wax-based products, C5 cures to a semi-permanent layer that withstands brake heat, strong wheel cleaning agents and mechanical stress considerably better.
Brake dust is one of the most aggressive contaminants for wheels – it contains metal particles that burn into the lacquer when heated. GTECHNIQ C5 reduces the adhesion of brake dust to the wheel surface, meaning that regular wheel cleaning requires significantly less effort and fewer aggressive chemicals.
Where is this product suitable?
- Passenger cars with alloy wheels in daily driving
- Sports cars and vehicles with high braking performance where brake dust is a notable problem
- Vehicles regularly exposed to road dirt, salt and chemicals
- Detailing studios and reconditioning workshops offering wheel treatment as an additional service
- Car enthusiasts wishing to reduce maintenance requirements between washes

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does GTECHNIQ C5 Wheel Coating work on all types of wheels?
Yes, GTECHNIQ C5 Wheel Coating is suitable for all common wheel finishes – including painted, polished and chrome surfaces. GTECHNIQ C5 Wheel Coating forms a ceramic layer that adapts to the wheel surface regardless of finish, provided the surface is thoroughly cleaned and degreased with an IPA product prior to application.
What coverage and durability does GTECHNIQ C5 Wheel Coating provide?
A 30 ml bottle of GTECHNIQ C5 Wheel Coating is sufficient to treat a complete set of 17" wheels. The Coating provides protection of up to 2 years depending on driving conditions, exposure to brake heat and how regularly the wheels are washed. GTECHNIQ recommends avoiding strong chemicals during routine washing in order to maintain the longevity of the Coating.
What distinguishes GTECHNIQ C5 Wheel Coating from other wheel treatments on the market?
GTECHNIQ C5 Wheel Coating is built on the same ceramic technology as GTECHNIQ's C1 and C4 Coatings, but is specifically formulated for the extreme conditions that wheels are subjected to – brake heat, mechanical stress and aggressive contaminants such as brake dust. Compared with wax-based or polymer-based wheel products, C5 offers a considerably longer durability and a harder, more chemical-resistant layer. We offer GTECHNIQ C5 as part of a complete range of ceramic coatings for vehicle care.
