anyone use Armorall Wheel Protectant?

blackbeast06 · 05-30-2010, 10:50 PM

Has anyone used the new product called Armorall Wheel Protectant? If so does this stuff work as well as played out in the advertisement video?

Mnut · 05-30-2010, 10:52 PM

I have not used it but the video looks almost like it is to good to be true... I will try it this week.

I don't know.
Never seen very good stuff comming out of them...
Maybe I'm wrong, and they've evolved past the 80'...

Armorall has always sold cheap , mass market products that would usually do more harm than good to your car as anyone who has used their tire shine will know (i.e. your tire sidewall turns orange from the petroleum distillates in their products). So I’d be surprised if this product is actually decent.

CubanJJ09 · 05-31-2010, 07:42 PM

I bought some yesterday and applied it. I'll report back.

I think the tire shine works great. I've been using it for 2 years now

alexc93 · 05-31-2010, 07:51 PM

tire shine is crap and turns side walls orange, so idk about the wheel protectant

335i_4D · 05-31-2010, 11:55 PM

A good initial clean + wheel wax (or paint sealant).
It works wonders for me.
Yes my brakes still covers the wheels, but a quick soap and water, and back to shiny

I used it a few times. It's really great.

I noticed that it took about 2 weeks for brake dust to accumulate on my wheels where as it would have been only 1 week and it's looking dirty.

Big negative about this product IMHO is that the product has hard to wipe off when finally cleaning your wheels.

Overall I'm happy with it and would recommend it.

Yes, I use it. It works great and lasts about 4 weeks. My wheels are powdercoated and it is not at all harmful to the powdercoat. However, its a PITA to apply as you do not want to get any of that stuff on your brake discs. A good idea is to remove the wheel to apply of stuff some newspaper or something to cover your brake discs while applying.

This is possibly the first good Armorall product. The rest are pretty much garbage.

I've been using it for a few weeks now and would recommend it. Keeps wheels cleaner longer, provides a nice shine. Best part is the brake dust washes right off when hosing the wheels down during a car wash.

AlexMac@Alpine · 07-06-2010, 07:00 PM

i used it on my matte black wheels and it dried blue. It scared me but luckily It just wiped off.

works magic and make your sidewall look real shiny.

What tire shine do you guys use that doesn't make your sidewalls orange/brown?
