Armor all wheel protectant

I was wondering if the new wheel protectant is same for painted (not powdercoated) wheels?

I tried it, it sucks, don't waste your money. I left it set for 48 hours before driving and Wheels still had to be cleaned with ice wheel cleaner everyday

I am going to take your word on this, I am going to pick some up tomorrow night. Hell if it doesn't work it was only a couple dollars wasted. I will let you guys know how this stuff works for me.

Just wax your wheels, works as good as anything. Who knows what that stuff will do to your wheel finish over time. I use NXT wax and detailer on mine, no problems.. If they do get dirty it washes right off. I wouldn't take the armor all crap for free. If it's not suppose to touch your paint, I sure as hell wouldn't put it on my wheels.

i got a mail in rebate to get it for free so i bought it. i think it works really well, it makes the wheel clean without much scrubbing like it used to take. it is really important to make sure the wheel is clean and dry before applying it.

Well after a few weeks of using it I have to say I do not like it at all. I will definitely not be buying again. It seems to be attracting the dirt and dust more then anything.

at first i noticed this too. but thenn gave it another try, let my car dry up after i washed it. made sure i sprayed a good amount on every part of the rim, because spraying this on the tc rim isnt all that great. but its been working really good for me. i went camping and dirt roads and what not and my car was covered in dirt but the rims looked fresh and clean. im happy with it
