Armour All Wheel Protectant. Clean wheels! Reduce brake dust!

Clean wheels! Reduce brake dust!
Brake dust was just a crappy fact of life until I tried Armor All Wheel Protectant. (haha - I sound like an infomercial). A few months ago a fellow PCA member recommended it and of course I was very skeptical and I didn't do anything about it. About 3 weeks ago I happened to notice it on a shelf at Pep Boys and decided what the heck, I will give it a try.

This stuff really works! Brake dust has been SIGNIFICANTLY reduced! Usually within a day or two I have a decent build-up but I have gone three weeks now with very little to show for it. Wheels look great! I washed the car last night again and the wheels cleaned right up so easily - and for those with the Lobster Forks (or mesh) wheels, you will know what a PITA they are to clean.

I HIGHLY recommend this product - especially for anyone with lighter finish wheels. Try it - you wont be disappointed!

Entertaining little video from Armor All -

I may have to try this too. I routinely wax my wheels, but the results wear off pretty quickly.

That's why we've (some) have waxed wheels for years. The brake dust remains the same but what adheres to the wheel is little to none when the wheel is protected.
