Decided to add some appearance upgrades to my wheels and brakes. Also decided to clay, polish and coat wheels and clean wheel wells.



Clay with Megs White and Megs LT
Polish with HD Adapt
Coat with DP Wheel Coating
Wheel Wells with Ultima Tire and Trim Guard



Mods
New Brembo Decals
Custom rear caliper covers with Brembo logo
New center caps
New valve stem caps
New black lug nuts

I hope you run aftermarket brake pads. I run the '13 GT500 brakes, and when I stop one time my wheels are covered in a layer of thick brake dust.

Didn't swap out brake pads. I used a wheel coating on the wheels and calipers. Not sure if your familiar with nano coatings but the wheels and paint stay much cleaner and very easy to clean.

Nice work! Looks great. How long does the DP usually last for you?

I just finished coating my wifes new 535I wheels paint and glass with DP coating. Then did my wheels.

Also got some hydro2 to try that if the DP doesn't last.

So far so good, did my 13 Durango RT Black Top in April and it's still going strong. Wheels stay much cleaner, whole truck was done with DP and it stays clean and is easier to clean. I topped with Sonax PNS for the winter. My 13 Charger RT has Hydro2 for the winter.

Outstanding, now head up my way and you can do mine. I even have a few yankees shirts you can use to clean the brake dust with! :-D

Great work!

Is it easy to use? I can't stand the brake dust that our cars generate and would like to at least have a product that makes brake dust removal easier.

I think I may give this stuff a try. Thanks!

Good work. Glad to hear that the coating is easy to use and holding up well...I have a paint/wheel/glass kit of theirs and haven't used it yet.

After seeing this thread I did my front ones with Ultima, but apparently the 07-09's have metal rear inner fenders. Mine are metal, & covered with undercoating. All I could do on them was wash everything.
