Wheel protectant-brake dust

![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Just a heads up about a new ArmorAll product. I got a can of this stuff from WallMart for $3 or less and so far it works pretty good at keeping brake dust and road grime at bay. I'm only into my 3rd day on the product so lets see.
It feels like there is enough in each can for 2 applications. If a car washing takes it all off then you are looking at an additional $1.50 each time you spruce up the car. Not so bad.
It does add a pleasant sheen to the wheels as well.

While out this a.m. it rained. Usually when this happens I get ugly grey/black spots and streaks on the wheels. Not this time. The wheels are 80% as bright and clear as when I started out with no spotting/streaking.![Icon Razz](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif)
The car gets washed tomorrow a.m. Hope to find out how this coating stands up to car washing. I'm thinking about another trip to WallMart to get the rest of their stock before the general public discovers it.

Okay. Here is my last report on this product. I put it on some 3 weeks ago. It did a great job thru wet and dry for 2+ weeks.
Got car washed and have run it now for 1 week thru wet and dry. Product still effective but somewhat degraded.![Smile](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Therefore, will continue use of product and apply after every 2nd car wash. Product cost approx $7 per can. Estimate there are 2 applications per can (maybe 3 if you are carefull and your wheels aren't too complex). Application last thru 2 clean ups so 2 X 4 divided into $7 gives you a cost of less than 87 cents per clean up. That's a pretty low cost to beat down a big pain in the butt like brake dust.

Optimum Opti Seal,Ultima Paint Guard Plus, Dodo red mist, OCW, Chemical Guys Blitz, Wolfgang, Blackfire and even Zaino Z8 among many others if a spray on sealant is your requirement.

Derdave,
Are we talking apples and oranges here. These products you mentioned sound like commercial grade refinish products, not the kind of products available to the average bloke and found in auto stores to keep brake dust off between applications/washes.
.
The ArmorAll stuff is not designed to refinish or permanately recoat the wheel. I gave it a try and suggested it to others as a brake dust remedy short of installing cerimic pads or refinishing the wheels. If there are other products that do this lets give em a try. What do you think?
Fill us in on GtechniqC2.
