Default Armor All Wheel Protectant

Anyone use this yet? I was thinking about picking some up. Black wheels are ridiculous to keep clean.

Wow, that video might have swayed me into buying a can. That might have been the finest dirt I've ever seen though, looked like brown sugar almost. I agree about the black rims.

I thought black rims were super easy to keep clean... Am I wrong? I don't own black wheels but wanted to powdercoat mine because I thought they were easier to clean and looked sharp. Let me know.

there easy to clean. but they get dirty fast. i put my black zr1s on my red TA vert and the pads must suck cuz aft a quick drive the wheels lookd brown. i use "wheel wax" but it does not clean the brake dust off the wheel justs them look wet.

I just sprayed my wheels with it today. Polished wheels are super hard to keep clean, so we'll see. It definitely puts a layer on the wheel. Naked to the invisible eye, but gives the wheel a bit more sheen. It says it lasts up to 4 weeks. At $8.50 for a little can, it had better work damn well.

I'm gonna bump this because I've been curious, and Tony Stewart's ads are getting to me..

Found a test video. Pretty dam convincing, but I'm wondering how it will show on chrome wheels and if I can take a rag to it with the material on there. Also wondering if I'll have to do any touch-up work or if I can apply this on a polished/waxed wheel.

I've used this stuff a couple times.. On a chrome wheel it can sometimes look hazey.. It's a bitch to remove too. If you get it on your rotor be carefull.. My brakes straight sucked *** untill that **** got burnt off em. It only gets used on the truck now.
