Revolutionary Clear Coat Technology Enhances Forgeline Wheel Protection and Finish

Lenexa, KS — July 10, 2025 — ZyCoat®, LLC, the creator of industry-leading automotive coating solutions, proudly announces the launch of its new ZyClear™ Wheel Clear Coat Application Kit, available through Forgeline® Motorsports Wheels starting today.

ZyClear™ is a premium, user-applied clear coat solution designed to provide high-performance wheels with long-lasting protection against brake dust, corrosion, road grime, and UV damage—without compromising aesthetics. Forgeline, the renowned manufacturer of custom lightweight performance wheels, has become the first wheel brand to offer the ZyClear Application Kit directly to its customers as part of a shared commitment to preserving performance and appearance.

"We lab tested it and proved that it works extremely well," says Forgeline President Dave Schardt. "We need a way to protect aluminum from road chemicals, especially for raw polished aluminum parts that are more vulnerable to oxidation.   ZyClear gives us an affordable solution that will not dull or obscure the shine of a highly-polished finish, unlike a clear powder coat. And it makes wheel cleaning so much easier. Every wheel, definitely every polished wheel, should be treated with ZyClear," added Dave. 

ZyClear’s advanced formula leverages ZyCoat’s proprietary technology, originally developed for aerospace and high-performance exhaust applications. With the new application kit, users can easily apply a durable, high-gloss clear coat in their own garages, extending the life and beauty of their wheels.

Key benefits of ZyClear™:

• D-I-Y wipe on or spray applied

• Shields against brake dust and grime adhesion

• Resists UV discoloration and road chemical damage

• Enhances depth and luster of wheel finishes

• Ideal for aluminum, magnesium, powder coated and forged alloy wheels

“ZyClear brings a new level of DIY protection to wheel owners who care about performance and appearance,” said Tim McCarthy, CEO of ZyCoat, LLC. “Partnering with the leading wheel manufacturer, Forgeline allows us to reach the most demanding wheel customers—those who know and appreciate quality and won’t settle for compromise,” added McCarthy.  

The ZyClear Wheel Clear Coat Application Kit is now available for purchase through Forgeline.com and authorized Forgeline dealers.

The official launch of the ZyClear/Forgeline partnership kicks off at the 27th Goodguys Summit Racing Nationals, in Columbus, Ohio, over the July 11-13 weekend, where Forgeline will be displaying sample parts from their 3400-hour salt spray lab testing and will have ZyClear DIY wheel kits available for purchase.
