Initial Review: Pinnacle Black Label Diamond Wheel and Glass Coating

Pinnacle Black Label Diamond Glass & Wheel Combo

Black Label Diamond Glass Coating

Black Label Diamond Glass Coating creates an extremely slick, impermeable barrier of protection on exterior glass surfaces that prevents dirt and moisture from sticking. Formulated using state-of-the-art nano-glass ceramic particles, treated glass surfaces will have increased chip and scratch resistance while exhibiting extreme hydrophobic properties. Spray and wipe application lasts up to 18 months!

Black Label Diamond Glass Coating makes frequent glass cleaning a thing of the past. The super slick, crystal clear barrier of protection created by Diamond Glass Coating causes water to bead up and roll off, taking dirt and grime with it. This extremely slick barrier of protection is so hard that it increases the chip and scratch resistance of your windshield.

Black Label Diamond Glass Coating was specially formulated to bond to glass and other silica-based surfaces. Unlike oily rain repellents that streak, smear, and haze, Diamond Glass Coating goes on clear and stays that way. Application is as simple as spraying on, evenly distributing with a foam applicator, and gently removing any excess product. Diamond Glass Coating goes on so thin that a single 4 ounce bottle will coat up to 50 windshields!

Black Label Diamond Wheel Coating

Black Label Diamond Wheel Coating blankets your wheels in a rock-hard barrier of protection that is impenetrable by ferrous brake-dust particles, road salt, tar or oil. Designed with brake-dust laden sports cars in mind, Diamond Wheel Coating and the layer of protection it creates makes laborious wheel cleaning a thing of the past. The super slick surface virtually eliminates brake-dust build up. Spray and wipe application lasts up to 18 months!

Let’s face it: wheel cleaning is a chore that nobody enjoys. It’s often messy and it takes considerably longer than it should. Pinnacle knows this, which is why they developed a specially designed wheel coating as part of their Black Label line of products – Diamond Wheel Coating.

Black Label Diamond Wheel Coating is a nano-glass ceramic coating that was designed specifically for application on wheels. Formulated to withstand the extreme temperatures that wheels are exposed to, Diamond Wheel Coating shields your wheels against the damaging effects of ferrous (iron containing) brake-dust particles. A single 4 ounce bottle is enough to coat up to 100 wheels.

Process on Glass: After the car was washed the glass was prepped with DP Coating prep by hand on my 2013 Acura TL and on my older Acura had to use Pinnacle Glass Work Water Spot Remover with orange pad and then DP coating prep. The glass coating was applied with the LC Coating applicator, after being primed with a couple of squirts. I did 2 coats (2 to 3 squirts on the bigger glass) for uniformity on all the glass including sunroof and high spots wiped with a MF towel couple of minutes later.
Process on Rims: After washing the wheels the rims were prepped with DP Coating prep. I applied to the rims with a round foam applicator. Primed the pad and 3 to 4 squirts per rim, I felt like it flashed faster on the rims that’s why I used 4 squirts; wiped off excess with MF towel.

Final Thoughts: Super easy to apply and saves time when cleaning glass and wheels. Both the products have been on my cars for a little over 2 weeks, my rims and glass are much easier to clean and stay cleaner longer; I am a big fan of waterless and rinsless wash and the rim coating make cleaning them a breeze. An observation on my 2001 Acura the wipers need to be replaced and even after 2 weeks I feel zero drag from the wipers.

Some pics and I will keep the thread updated and see how they perform in the rain when driving.

I love the BL Glass Coating and Wheel Coatings. I have noticed that the wheels on my Dodge Ram stay so much cleaner with the coating applied.

I did a rinseless wash yesterday and cleaning them was a breeze !!!!

I still need a good rain to see how the coating is holding up on my windshield.
