It's starting to seem like I'm in the minority on this, because people on detailing forums seem convinced that this stuff works, but I just don't see it. I've tried it on both of my vehicles, and have seen no evidence to support the notion that this stuff helps keep wheels cleaner longer.

- 2004 Honda S2000 with Mintex race compound brake pads
- 1999 Ford F250 with OEM Ford brake pads

I kept the receipt for this stuff - I got it on sale at Target. I think I'm going to ask Armor All for my six bucks back.
did you let it set for like an hour? the longer the better.

After cleaning your wheels thoroughly apply a sealant like Rejex or Klasse AIO and your wheels will stay cleaner. But the main benefit is they will be easier to clean and will have a nice shine.

i really like this stuff. it's fairly cheap and does a good job at keeping my rims clean alot longer.

first application i let sit overnight and the results were pretty impressive to me. Normally after a week of my normal commute my rims are are gray filled with brake dust. After my first treatment i noticed that the same time frame my rims were still relatively shiny, almost completely clean, minus some small corners in the rims.

for roughly $6 this is a great product.
