Did you change the color or shoot for Hyper Silver?

Space Fox · 04-27-2020, 07:57 PM

+1 Hyper Silver is the only way

Again, there is no way to replicate OEM finish using PC.

Hey there.

Hyper Silver looks great on some cars, but it's pretty shiny. Obviously not as shiny as being polished, but I've always preferred a brushed or pure silver look, especially on colors like AW.
I think if the OEM finish was more of a pure/classic silver, few people would think Hyper Silver looks better.
I had RAC RG4s on my previous car and those came finished in Porsche's GT Silver. They were perfect IMO.

Anyone have good recommendations for wheel coatings? That's probably my next move.

Also curious if anyone has a way around the dreaded rusty dried water layer that forms on the rotors after a wash?

Ceramic coating for 359's should be mandatory with the number of spokes these wheels have lol. I've been recommended gyeon coating which I purchased from amazon. Coated my TEs but have yet to work on the 359s.

I appreciate it. I have some Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax that I'm going to give a go. Going to do a wheels off cleaning and coating this weekend. Will see how it holds up. I have zero experience with ceramic coatings so I figured this would be a pretty fool proof start. Also finally got the rust stopper for the rotors, going to see how that works out as well. Will report back.

This was actually my first time using ceramic coating and to my surprise it was pretty easy. I did opt to purchase the more user friendly can coating which may not have as much durability as their more advanced offerings. Just remember to decontaminate and strip away anything that is currently on the wheels and let it sit for at least 24 hours. I used several microfiber applicator pads with towels to apply the coatings. I have yet to wash the wheels so I will report back on that as well.
