sark021 Member 38 Member For: 18y 7m 23d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 21/09/08 06:50 AM Share Posted 21/09/08 06:50 AM Hey guysI like to try new things as much as the next person...and seeing as I've seen it advertised lately in magazines I thought I would give it try.Simply just leaves a milky white residue on the wheel. Had to wipe it off with a micro fibre cloth as I couldn't stand looking at it anymore. After a good wipe...then it came up looking good....however you are only supposed to spray this stuff on and let it dry. No thanks.When I noticed that this particular product is made in China (enuff said)...it should have rung alarm bells straight away!!!Anyway...I'll leave it up to you...but it's not worth the money...give it a miss.My secret (if you can call it a secret) for cleaning wheels....spray with Polyglaze Waterless Wash...simply wipe the dirt away and then buff with another cloth. The dirt just congeals and easily comes off onto the cloth while wiping way...and a great finish.....childs play!

After a good wipe...then it came up looking good....however you are only supposed to spray this stuff on and let it dry. No thanks.I was pleasantly surprised by the Armor all wheel protectant, my brakes cause ALOT of dust, so much that 3 days or driving and they begin to look black, after a week they are black and look like I have not cleaned them in a month. The first time I tried the wheel protectant they were clean for over a week, began to look dirty but not black and remained like that (unwashed) for another 3 weeks.. sure they were not clean for the 5 weeks but they never got anywhere near as black as what they normally get. At the moment I am running the left side front wheel with armor all wheel protectant on it and the right side front wheel I applied 2 layers of meguiars NXT2 paste wax.. just to run a small comparison, so far there is no difference between the 2 after 5 daysjust a tip, dont get sucked in to the wheel protectants, most of them are just simple sealants repackaged (ie the same stuff you use on your paint) Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/49988-that-new-armor-all-wheel-protectant/#findComment-738989 Share on other sites More sharing options...
