I'll keep you updated. If my wheels turn brown you guys will be the first to know.

I am hoping they don't, and I am pretty sure they won't, but I sure appreciate your offering your wheels to be the first to "take one for the team"!

BillLee · 03-28-2010, 10:16 PM

nice, i might pick up a can or two.

Jed · 03-29-2010, 11:12 AM

Thanks for testing! I think I'll definitely be picking up a can or 2!

NiVeDh · 04-03-2010, 08:35 PM

That's great! Thanks for doing the testing.

Flea7 · 04-03-2010, 09:15 PM

I'll toss some on my pipes tomorrow and report back. Those look like chrome, mine are aluminum (or whatever matte material they use). Gathering some thoughts from both types might be helpful.

No luck on the tailpipes, I'm afraid. They're as dirty as ever.

BillLee · 04-12-2010, 11:29 PM

going to look for some tomorrow!

ylincooper · 04-12-2010, 11:33 PM

ive had it on for a good 8 days and my wheels still look really clean. usually by now they are really dirty. i used almost the whole can on all 4 wheels so i really coated is on there. but its working.

FRRYY · 10-26-2011, 06:22 PM

^ yup. Just tried this.

going on day 4 and by now my wheels would be a medium gray. 4 more days and would be charcoal.

but currently, its still pretty damn clean. Used up probably 3/4ths of the can tho.

I will add tho, it did make my silver powdercoated wheels appear a bit more matte. (as opposed to shiny silver)

still, i love this product so far. Cleaning my wheels are bitch.

yeah I also bought this a while back and it seems to reduce but not eliminate the brake dust. However, I had spotches of the areas that didn't not get sprayed on since my wheels are mesh making it hard to get every little bit. However, it isn't bad at all and I would recommend others to get it especially if you got the 189 wheels or something with less spokes will make your job less work.

FRRYY · 02-29-2012, 02:18 PM

recently bought meguiar's version of this.

its sucks.
doesn't protect as well as Armor All.

3 days in and my wheels are already dirty.
