Wheel Protectant Comparison

Thought others might be interested in my test results of wheel protectants. See the pictures below after one week. I think they are self-explanatory as to which did better. The Armor All works very well, but does not really last after cleanings. Anyone else seen results with other products?

It would be a better comparison if you put them ON THE SAME WHEEL. I.e. - put them on at half of each wheel. But you need to know which half is what. The reason I say this is that one of your wheels could have been dragging the brakes which would have made the comparison unfair. I've done similar tests with sealants. But at one point, I forgot which side was for what product!

After a week of usage it averages out. As well, the front had the same results.

Any one use it on black wheels? Others said that it may leave a hazy film on black rims.
