Armor All Quicksilver Rim Protector Spray

So it turned out to be a bad idea to rinse and brush after two weeks. The product says it's good for four weeks so I will see how long it repels.

One week aftet my rinse and brush. It looks like leave well enough alone is the right course of action. I think i basically removed the coating. Lesson learned.


After two weeks I have to say it really works at keeping the break dust at bay.

My bad I forgot they were out of Maguires... shout out to Armor All.

Once you have the rims cleaned just spray on let dry. I did wipe off any that landed on the brake discs. This is the real hero

This is two weeks after spraying. I am going to give them a quick rinse and brush.
Front wheel usually covered after three days is fairly clean after two weeks.

Once I had the rims cleaned and dry I just drove to an open area lot and sprayed each rim inside and out. I held the can less than 6 inches away and sprayed very liberally. I did not read about over spray so I just cleaned off any that landed on the rims.
It goes on clear and does not appear sticky but I let dry for ten minutes before driving off.

Inside and out? How did you spray the inside?
If you spray liberally 6-inches away, how about these which land on the tires?

The rear rims are easier since you can get the spray though the front slats. The more difficult parts i sprayed from under and behind.

Good. I will try it.
I guess you had to wipe the spray from the tires, right?
