Recommendation for Ceramic Coater for Wheels SoCal

My wheels will be coming in a few weeks and I wanted to have them ceramic coated prior to mounting tires and putting them on the car. Ideally I'd want something near Arcadia 91006 area but I am willing to drive for quality and service. Anyone have any recommendations?

Hit up Matrix Auto Detail

Highly recommend his ceramic coating for the paint as well...it blows Ceramic Pro out of the water imo.

ceramic pro is a waste of money. spend the money towards a better product that doesn't require you to pay every year to have a new coat put on and maintain the warranty.

All coatings require some level of maintenance and anyone that says otherwise is spreading misinformation. As far as i know, CP is the only coating with a real manufacturer warranty and the only coating that is CarFax verified and recorded on your vehicle's carfax.

There are plenty of great coatings out there - you can still get a Ceramic Pro package and opt out of the annual inspection. You just won't get the warranty and I don't think that's unfair.

It's just like taking in your car for service - you take it in once a year so that the Ceramic Pro installer can make sure your coating is behaving properly and being maintained properly. The typical annual inspection consists of an exterior wash, full decon (ironx bath, APC bath, possibly claybar and solvent wipe) and then application of our Ceramic Pro Sport coating to repair any damage that the top coat may have sustained over the year.

Again, there are a handful of great coatings out there but all ceramic coatings need some level of maintenance and upkeep.
