Endorsement for Armourall Wheel Protectant

Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: Armor All, All Wheel Protectant, 7 oz. (78482)


Just passing this along. I have owned BMW's for years and the one thing that is a given is that your wheels will be dirty in one day of driving. I used this about 3 weeks ago and am still waiting for them to get dirty.

I had the same issue with immediately filthy wheels when using the factory BMW pads. Aggravating. I switched to Akebono Euro Ceramic pads and the problem was solved on long term basis.

Looks good. My OEM BBS wheels on my Golf get dirty almost immediately after washing.
I'll try it and see if it helps.

I'll have to try this on my MazdaSpeed3 as the wheels get black from brake dust after one hour of driving...

I'm waiting for the rain here to end so I too can apply the Armorall to my Audi Q5 wheels.

The get filthy as soon as you step on the brakes.

Looks like that's similar to this:
HIGH PERFORMANCE CLEANING WAX IN AN AEROSOL CAN

I will give FW1 a big thumbs up. I was surprised, but I use it everywhere on the car. It cleans, degreases, waxes, de-dusts and generally kicks butt on everything it touches. Put it all over your wheels and the brake dust simply doesn't stick anymore. I use it to clean the engine bay, underbody, anything.

EDIT: Oh, it cleans glass like mad and makes it rainproof!

Yes, anything.

The foaming action makes it more enjoyable.
