ArmorAll Wheel Protectant
Bought this at Walmart for $9. stuff works! Sprayed on my 19" OEM M3 wheels and three weeks later they still look clean. Rest of the car is a mess (jet black).
I can see a few spots that I missed with the spray and those spots have heavy brake dust. |

The impact on the brakes as a result of overspray is what concerns me most about these products.

You'd be surprised how fast you can destroy a set of pads if they absorb some type of liquid that is not specifically designed to be used near brakes. I'd rather just put a good coat of wax on the wheels and then clean them regularly with water.

You can always take the wheels off to apply the Armorall. I'm curious if the AA lasts or works any better than wax.
I'm about to apply wax or some other kind of sealant to a new set of wheels. I'd like to know what works best. Can any of these sealants take the heat from track days? |

I think that is a non issue!It is no different than the tire dressing that some people like to use.The first stop cleans off the discs and really the rust that is on the rotors after washing the car.I think that is more is much more of an issue.

When I got my new RG63's last month, I used the Klasse twins (AIO followed by HSG) on them.. I've always loved their shine AND durability. A little pain to work with but once on you're good for several months.
