Vehicle Restoration & Protection: Wheels, Trim and Paint
Stop fading, oxidation and road salt corrosion before they cost you
Find Protection for Your Vehicle​
Brake dust, road salt, UV rays, and weather wear down every part of your vehicle. Wheels lose their shine, black plastic trim turns chalky gray, brass tarnishes, and paint fades. Most people assume the fix is expensive refinishing or replacement parts. Usually it isn’t.
​
Everbrite Coatings restores the color and luster of faded surfaces and seals them under a tough, clear coating that lasts for years, not weeks like wax. You apply it yourself with no special tools, at a fraction of the cost of new parts.​

I’ve been using ProtectaClear for years on all my brass era automobile restorations. Every piece of brass trim and fasteners get coated and never tarnish. I love ProtectaClear! ​~ Bob R. Richmond, VA
Protect Polished Aluminum, Chrome and Alloy Wheels from Brake Dust and Corrosion
​Nothing ruins the look of polished wheels faster than corrosion. Brake dust, road salt, and everyday grime don’t just make wheels look dirty. They eat into the metal, leaving pitting, haze, and dull spots that take hours of polishing to fix, if they can be fixed at all.
​
You don’t have to choose between constant polishing and expensive new wheels. Polish them once, seal them with ProtectaClear, and keep that just-polished shine for years.
​
Why Brake Dust Is Your Wheels’ Worst Enemy
Brake dust is the fine residue left as brake pads wear against the rotors. It contains carbon fibers, graphite, metal shavings, and a sticky, acidic adhesive that clings to every corner of your wheel. Left in place, it pits bare and polished metal and leaves gummy deposits that are hard to remove. Strong acidic wheel cleaners can strip it, but they can also damage the finish you’re trying to protect.
The better approach is to keep brake dust from bonding to the metal in the first place.
​
Why ProtectaClear Works on Polished and Unpainted Wheels
-
A real coating, not a wax: ProtectaClear forms a tough, clear barrier that protects aluminum, chrome, stainless, and alloy wheels from corrosion and oxidation.
-
Keeps the polished look: It goes on thin and self-levels, so your wheels look freshly polished, not coated in plastic.
-
Built for winter roads: Tough enough to protect wheels driven through corrosive road salt all season.
-
Easier cleaning: Brake dust and grime wash off with mild soap and water instead of harsh chemicals.
-
Simple DIY application: One-part formula, no mixing and no special tools. Two thin coats give the best protection on wheels.
-
Easy to maintain: It blends into itself for touch-ups and can be removed and reapplied if you ever need to re-polish.​​​​​​​​​​​
Restore and Protect Painted and Powder-Coated Wheels from Road Salt, Brake Dust, and Fading​
Winter road salt and de-icing chemicals are brutal on wheels. Whether you have factory-painted rims or custom powder-coated wheels, salt and brake dust work into tiny pores in the finish. Over time that leads to a chalky, faded look, oxidation, bubbling, pitting, and eventually finish failure.
Most people assume faded wheels need to be refinished or replaced. Often they don’t. ProtectaClear brings back the deep color and luster of faded painted and powder-coated wheels, then seals them under a tough, crystal-clear shield that stands up to salt, brake dust, and harsh winter roads. Unlike waxes that wash off in weeks, it lasts season after season.
​
Why Choose ProtectaClear for Your Painted and Powder-Coated Rims?
-
Restores Faded Color and Luster: Brings dull, chalky, oxidized finishes back to a rich, deep color and gloss. It’s a fraction of the cost of refinishing or buying new wheels.
-
Salt and Chemical Resistance: Helps keep road salt, magnesium chloride, and corrosive de-icers from reaching and breaking down your wheel’s finish.
-
Brake Dust Defense: A sealed surface keeps hot, acidic brake dust from embedding in the finish, so cleanup takes only mild soap and water.
-
Long-Lasting Durability: Bonds directly to the surface for protection that lasts well beyond temporary sealants and spray waxes.
-
Easy DIY Application: A one-part, self-leveling formula you can apply yourself with no special tools. It’s easy to recoat later without heavy sanding or stripping.​

​Don’t replace faded wheels. Restore and protect them. ​
Protect Motorcycle Wheels from Brake Dust, Road Salts and Corrosion
Keep bare, painted, and powder-coated motorcycle wheels looking like new, with no waxing after every ride.
Motorcycle wheels take a beating. Brake dust and road salt attack every type of wheel finish, not just bare metal.
-
Uncoated wheels, like those on the Honda Goldwing, have no protective layer. Bare aluminum and alloy quickly develop white oxidation from water spots and black stains from brake dust, which turn into pitting if left alone.
-
Coated wheels aren’t safe either. Hot, acidic brake dust and road salt work into tiny pores in factory clear coats, paint, and powder coat. Over time the finish fades, dulls, and stains, and corrosion can creep underneath and cause bubbling or peeling.
Many riders wax their wheels monthly or after every ride to stay ahead of it. That’s a lot of work for protection that washes off in the next rain.
​
Seal Your Wheels Once and Ride
ProtectaClear is a tough, clear coating that seals bare and coated wheels against brake dust, road salt, water spots, and oxidation. Riders tell us grime and dirt still wash right off with soap and water after 9,000 miles.
-
Works on any wheel finish: Protects bare aluminum, alloy, chrome, stainless steel, anodized aluminum, and painted, clear-coated, or powder-coated wheels.
-
Not a wax: A durable coating that lasts season after season instead of washing off.
-
Stops brake dust and salt damage: Keeps corrosive contaminants from embedding in the finish or reaching the metal.
-
Restores faded finishes: Brings back the color and luster of dull, faded painted and powder-coated wheels, then locks it in.
-
Looks like a fresh finish, not plastic: Goes on thin and self-levels, so polished metal looks freshly polished and coated wheels look freshly detailed.
-
Easy to apply your way: Brush it, wipe it, or spray it. One-part formula with no mixing.
-
Simple upkeep: Blends into itself for touch-ups and can be removed if you ever want to re-polish or refinish.
​
How to Protect Motorcycle Wheels
-
Clean thoroughly with soap and water. Avoid strong acidic wheel cleaners, which can damage any finish.
-
Bare metal wheels: Polish out oxidation and stains until bright. Coated wheels: Make sure all brake dust and grime are removed.
-
Wipe with acetone or 99% alcohol and let dry completely.
-
Apply two coats of ProtectaClear.
-
Let it cure, then ride. Future cleanup takes only soap and water.

​
Over time, constant sun exposure can cause your car's exterior plastic trim to fade, turning it from a deep black to a chalky gray. This not only detracts from your vehicle's appearance but also exposes the plastic to further decay. Everbrite coating is a simple, long-lasting solution to restore the original look and provide a durable, UV-resistant shield.
​​
The Problem with Faded Plastic Trim
​​
Your car's hard plastic parts, such as bumpers, side moldings, mirror casings, window trim, and engine bay covers are made with polymers that break down when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. This process causes the color to fade and the surface to become brittle. Temporary solutions like oily dressings or protectants often wash off and require frequent reapplication, leaving you in a continuous cycle of maintenance.
​​
How to Restore Faded Trim with Everbrite
​​
Our process is designed for a long-lasting restoration that won't wash off.
-
Clean the Surface Thoroughly: Before applying the coating, the plastic trim must be completely clean and free of all dirt, grime, and any old dressings. Use EZ Prep Cleaner or mild soap with water to make a soapy solution and scrub with a brush to get deep into the texture. Rinse well and allow the trim to dry completely.
-
Apply the Everbrite Coating: Using a clean applicator pad or foam brush, apply a single, thin coat of the Everbrite coating. The product will absorb into the pores of the plastic, instantly bringing back the rich, dark color.
-
Let it Dry: Allow the coating to dry for a few hours. A single coat is often sufficient, but you can apply a second coat after the first coat is completely dry for added durability and a deeper finish.
​
Why Choose Everbrite for Plastic Restoration?
​​
-
Long-Lasting: Unlike temporary dressings, our coating creates a hard, durable layer that will not wash off or streak in the rain.
-
True Color Restoration: Instantly restores the original color of faded plastic trim, making it look new again. Restores plastics of any color.
-
UV Protection: Built-in UV inhibitors block the sun damage that causes fading, so restored trim stays dark and rich for one to two years.
-
Cost-Effective: One kit replaces months of oily dressings, and when it’s time, a quick maintenance coat refreshes the finish without stripping or starting over.
-
Won’t yellow, crack, or peel: Everbrite is guaranteed not to yellow or discolor, and it stays flexible, so it won’t crack or peel.
-
Not sticky or oily: Once cured, trim looks and feels like new, with no greasy residue to attract dust.
-
Gloss or satin finish: Choose gloss for a shine or satin for a subdued sheen.

Restore and Protect Faded Automotive Hard Plastic
Protect Classic Cars, Antique Autos and Rat Rods from Rust, Tarnish and Fading
Preserve original paint, chrome, brass, and patina without changing
the look you love.
Classic and antique cars aren’t just vehicles. They’re history, and often a serious investment. Moisture, road salt, and UV rays work against them every day, causing rust, pitted chrome, tarnished brass, and faded paint that chip away at both their beauty and their value.
Everbrite Coatings seal and protect every surface of your classic with clear coatings that preserve the original character. No repaint, no plastic look, and no constant polishing.
​
Common Problems We Solve for Classic Cars
​​
-
Rust on Undercarriage and Frame: A clear, durable barrier seals out moisture to stop rust from spreading on structural parts.
-
Tarnished Brass Trim: Brass radiators, lamps, horns, and fittings on antique and brass-era cars tarnish quickly. Polish them once, then seal them with ProtectaClear so they stay bright for years with no repeated polishing.
-
Chrome Pitting: Seal chrome bumpers, trim, and emblems with ProtectaClear to protect them from the moisture and road salt that cause pitting.
-
Faded original paint: Everbrite Coating restores a deep, rich finish to dull, faded paint and adds lasting UV protection, so you can keep original paint instead of repainting.
​
Protect Rat Rod Patina and Natural Rust
Love the weathered, rusty look? A true patina is beautiful, but unprotected it keeps rusting until the metal rots. Everbrite seals your patina exactly as it is, stopping further rust while preserving its texture and color. It gives the finish a slightly richer, “wet” look and won’t peel or flake when applied correctly.
​​
How to Seal a Patina Finish
-
Clean: Wash off dirt and grime with a non-abrasive cleaner that won’t damage the finish.
-
Remove loose rust: Gently remove any flaking or bubbling rust so the coating bonds to solid metal.
-
Dry completely: Moisture trapped under the coating can affect adhesion.
-
Apply Everbrite: Brush or wipe on an even coat for a clear, protective seal that locks in the look. Two coats are recommended for long-lasting results.
Protect Trailers and RVs from Oxidation, Fading and Corrosion
Keep your Airstream, Avion, horse trailer, teardrop, or fifth wheel looking new for years
Trailers live outside. Sun, rain, road grime, and road salt cause chalky oxidation on aluminum, faded paint and fiberglass, and rust on steel parts, and the bigger the trailer, the more surface there is to maintain. Constant polishing and waxing get old fast.
​
Everbrite Coating restores dull, faded finishes and seals them under a clear coating that typically lasts 5 to 10 years on metal, even with continuous outdoor storage. Less maintenance, more time on the road.
Protection for Every Type of Trailer
​​
Airstream Trailers
Airstream’s highly polished aluminum oxidizes and hazes from sun and weather, and keeping it mirror-bright usually means hours of polishing. Polish once, then seal with ProtectaClear to lock in that signature shine for years.
Avion & Other Anodized Aluminum Trailers
Avion trailers and other vintage trailers with anodized aluminum skins fade and turn chalky over time. Everbrite™ restores their color and luster and seals the surface against further oxidation and weather.
Horse Trailers & Livestock Haulers
Manure, road salt, and frequent washing quickly corrode aluminum and painted surfaces. A clear, durable seal makes trailers easier to hose clean and protects metal from corrosion and wear.
Teardrop & Compact Trailers
Lightweight aluminum and painted finishes fade and scuff from outdoor storage and travel. Our coatings restore gloss, add UV protection, and leave a smooth surface that’s easy to clean.
Fifth Wheels & Large RVs
Large RVs have a lot of exposed surface that chalks, fades, and water-spots, on both fiberglass and metal. Everbrite Coating restores color and shine to faded fiberglass and painted metal and adds a protective shield against weather. On fiberglass, plan on recoating more often than on metal surfaces.
​
What Our Coatings Fix
-
Aluminum oxidation: Stops the white, chalky haze on polished and anodized aluminum.
-
Faded, chalky paint and fiberglass: Restores color and luster and protects against UV.
-
Rust & corrosion: Seals steel hitches, frames, and fittings against moisture and salt.
-
Hard-to-clean surfaces: Leaves a smooth finish that dirt and grime rinse right off.
