    Default ArmorAll wheel protectant (review)

    My SUV has some silver/polished wheels on it that i try so hard to keep clean and can never seem to manage it. I'll spend my sunday with a polishing cone and get them all nice and shiny, then half way thru monday theyre filthy again. Brake dust seems to stick to them like magnets for some reason. It also doesnt help that i actually do offroad in my truck. usually after a week, the parts of my rim that arent black are stained orange from mud.



    Anyways, here's what my wheel looks like........ 2 months and 5-6 trips to hunting land later.

    if it will keep this old abused wheel with no clear coat some what clean after multiple times offroading, it will probably keep your cherished wheels spotless.


    pretty crazy how well this stuff works. one of the few car care products that is well worth the money.

    My friend uses this on his stock 350z wheels and it works amazing. As soon as I have some wheels worth using this on I'm buying a few cans.

    pretty much, just doesnt let anything stick to your wheel. If it keeps the orange georgia clay off ur wheels, it will keep anything off ur wheels.

    You want your whole car to act like that honey did on the wheel and not wear off? Also not want to do anything but wash your car for the next 2 years, including not having to wax it? Look up optimum opti-coat 2.0 . Its a little expensive, but its also considered permanent (surprisingly not a gimick either.) The stuff can also be applied to your wheels too.
