Armor All Wheel Protectant

Guys, I don't know how many of you guys have used this stuff. It works really well! I got it more for my wifes BMW 5er. She has lots of spokes and crevices, my c63 wheels are 5 spoke and gunmetal on the inside. Anyways after one week her wheels are clean! I remember how much I hated the unsightly dust on my stock wheels and cleaning her wheels multiple times a week was getting old. It's good stuff

Funny you post this I was actually starring at a bottle this past weekend and decided not to get it. Good to know it works. Did you get the foam or the spray?

I didn't know they made foam. It came in a smaller can then the regular tire shine. It was kinda pricey too, $7 for a bottle, but worth it. It went on as clear fluid.

You may want to try Swissvax wheel wax. It does wonders for keeping my rims clean for weeks.

I drive the racism out of BadDebt. ;)
i used this product before on my wheels....all i can say is..if you love your wheels, dont put this shizz on it...

If your wheels have lips on them...this product wont work.

If your wheels are worth more than a grand dont put this product on it.

If you hate trying to scrub off silicone products off your wheels when you wash your car, this product isnt for you..

If you dont have 8hrs to wait for the spray to dry after its applied onto the wheel, this product isnt for you...

If you didnt clean your wheels properly before application...this product wont work very well...

If you're running ceramic pads...ceramic dust is still gonna collect...



Coles Notes : this product is for stock ECO cars...with their owners only knowing that Armor All is the shizzz!

You make no sense...
Why would it work on the rest of the wheel but not the lip?
It doesn't mess up the finish so why does it matter what your wheels cost?
Mine dryed in 15 minutes.
Clean your wheels right the first time and you won't have that problem
Why would ceramic dust collect but not regular dust or road grime?

Not sure what a coles notes is and what is a stock ECO Car? If your talking Eco like economy cars... your the one with the v6.

Nobody said to use any other armor all products, althought their extreme tire shine is not bad. I use mostly McGuiars.

Because dirt and grime collects on the lip of the wheels...may not collect on the face of the wheel..but the lips will collect all the shiz that the face of the wheel doesnt. You would not know..because for 1, your wheels are dark gunmetal colour ( cant see shiet even if they are dirty)...and 2, you do not have a lip on ur wheels. I have a mirror anodized finish on my rims so every spec of dirt or blemish shows.

Sure, if your wheels dont have lips..it'll be fine i guess...but if you got 3" lips thinking this stuff is godly, you're in for a surprise.



Try cleaning it off your nice wheels?..i personally wouldn't want to spray crap silicone all over my wheels to get a few days of shine, and spend an extra 15 mins cleaning my wheels... hows the clearcoat on your wheels?....apply it a few times, and you'll know what im talking about.

Doesnt dry in 15mins... well not in canada anyways...instructions specifically says "overnight"...or 4hrs.
Oh, and dont spray if you park on the street, during the drying process, if the area you reside in is dusty or theres debris flying around...you risk having it stuck to your wheels as the silicone spray is a sticky and tacky mess as its drying...

So what if i had a V6...its a benz.. not a honda...besides its my daily driver...i got other cars to play with...that dwarf my 320 and your 500...

Mcguires is a borderline **** product aswell....if you drive a benz...atleast spend some good change and buy decent products for your car.

Google this product...doesnt really get awesome reviews....borderline at best amongst people that know nothing about protection of their prized vehicles.

To each their own...just stating my opinion about this product...its not wow factor....Tried, Tested, Trued....Wheel wax is much better.

IF you want no dust and clean wheels...invest in some ceramic pads...the most efficient and costly effective way.

If you read the original post, I said i bought the stuff for my wife's bmw not my gunmetal rims...

You drive an 8 year car that is barley worth 10k, get real with your prized vehicle.

And since we are sharing opinions your rims much like the girl in your pics are/is ugly.

Well, my car maybe 8yrs old and " worth 10K" but ur clk500 isn't that far away in price range...

LOL, you know...I never stated that girl In the pictures were pretty..haha...I may have gotten her from the petting zoo much like your wife...but the diffrence between you and I is that, I returned this beeeyotch in 45mins....you married one.

Oh btw, that gap between ur wheels and fender is quite large....no diffrent from the gap between ur wife's legs....

Have a good day. =)

jeez guys. calm down.
But Baddebt, you kinda started it man. superfly was just offering his opinion about the product. if it works for you, continue using it.

anyways, my 2 cents.

I would just clean the wheels as normal. then i just apply wax to the wheels and qd them every so often. even if i leave them, makes it easier to clean up the next time.

umm ok stupid ***. Like you have seen my wife. Enjoy the gook w/ blonde hair.

Btw I washed the car this weekend the stuff came right off. Not sure what you used?
Also I looked at the bottle, the directions say to wait 15 minutes. I don't what you have to do in f@gg0ty Canada/
I dont really care that you don't like the stuff but the part about me not knowing anything better than Armour all is rude. So if you cant take the heat stay out of the kitchen.

I never said my car was worth a lot more, but I am not over there refering to it as a prized vehicle.

LOL...all i hear from you is cries...wahh... i guess i slapped ur peepee a little harder than i thought; dissin your farm animal you call wife...
getting a little racist now aren't we..."gook"

If you didnt take it so personally...i would have left it as is...you decided to get personal...so I returned fire....10x harder.

so your qoute of "So if you cant take the heat stay out of the kitchen." really is meant for yourself....stop while you're ahead..you're only making youself look bad.

and btw, heres a qoute for you...." don't bite off more than you can chew"
