Two great products. And they do work well together. White Light is my go-to glaze on my pearl white daily driver.

Thanks everyone for the kind words! I have to say, when i received my wheels the first thing i did was ceramic coat them. I didnt realize it would make the wheels darker...which i didnt want. The glossy gun metal is lighter...
