Armor All Wheel protectant

ClemsonWill · 09-26-2010, 07:26 PM

Has anyone tried this stuff? I know that it is becoming real popular with the the corvette crowd. But I have also heard that nobody really knows the long term effects.

Any first hand experience would be great. Thanks!

Thanks for the rebate! Have you tried this stuff?

If it's anything like their other stuff, I'd avoid it. IMO their interior protectant is over-hyped crap.
I use Wheel Wax and think it works well.

Not yet, but WTH...next I see it I'll purchase some and try it. For tires I use More Shine by Stoner. I buy it by the case.

I have used it a number of times and it makes a real difference on brake dust accumulation. I always keep my wheels protected with various wheel sealants so I was not expecting much, but it cuts the amount of brake dust in half when driving the same distance.

The only draw back is that it slightly dulls the metallic flake and decreases the gloss slightly on the rim but it does work (even though it is Armor-All haha).

i use Prima Hydro. it's a polymer spray. very easy to apply, no mess, no re-buffing. just mist and wipe like QD.
