Ceramic Coating Black Rims

Anyone have 2022 black glossy rims?

Curious if anyone had them ceramic coated and noticed that they were easier to clean off after a week or so of breakdust build up?

I had mine ceramic coated the day after I returned from PDC on last Friday. It has rained 3 days this week and the wheels have some light dirt on them but I'm not noticing any brake dust. The red calipers look spotless. I plan on washing it Friday or Saturday, so I'll let you know afterwards.

Just finished coating them last week. Like all ceramic coating, it should make cleaning easier.

Did mine myself day after buying so can’t comment if it makes it easier as never cleaned them without it on but they are easy to clean. I do was them minimum once a week though.
I did the callipers and inner arches at the same time.

Modesta BC06 rims and callipers. Easier to clean but I wouldn’t say easy due to the design of the wheel.
