Unfortunately, you can't verify if the wheels were coated with Modesta specifically. Upon cleaning you may be able to tell the wheels are coated if they're easier to clean; however, you won't be able to identify with which product they're coated. Also, if the wheels were in fact coated 2-3 years ago the coating is likely no longer effective as the coating does not last very long on wheels compared to painted surfaces.

figuring out which in specific is impossible.
however, some last 3 months, 12 months, 3 years. so while the initial investment stings up front, the 500 is well spent when averaged over multiple years. whats 20 bucks a month, or 15 a month of saving yourself 1-2 hours a month...time vs money thing here. |

Skeptical ceramic coating was done on my '24 X5 50e
I am worried that my brand new 2024 X5 does not have the "ceramic coating" that I paid for. I bought this out of state in Illinois and I live in Ohio so I cannot simply take back to them for review. I've included some photos. I thought ceramic coating would mitigate these types of marks. These photos are from a couple hours after going through a drive-thru car wash. Any thoughts? My immediate thought was to take somewhere local to verify the ceramic coating was completed. Here's the info that was included in the contract...
"PermaPlate B1PLA - 3-WAY PREMDLX APP w/ 1-7 VR OPTION - Fiber, Leather, Paint - PREMDLX 84 months $825.00 Coverage |

Really hard water will leave noticeable mineral deposits on a ceramic coated surface. Where I live we have extremely hard water from wells. If I’m in a rush and use our water directly, I’ll get mineral deposit spots all over the car (easily removed with vinegar if addressed quickly). However, if I use the CR Spotless water system, I can clean the car, let it air dry and there won’t be a single water/mineral spot on the car.
