Armor All wheel protectant?

Well guys i saw that link about Armor All's wheel protectant and i was wondering if any of you guys use it. It looks freaking amazing, but would it be okay to spray on even if you have wheel wax already applied? I dont have the bottle with me so i could read the instructions or anything im just curious.. might pick myself up a bottle or something.

This would fit better in the detail and care section haha. Armor All products are known to be low quality, but it looks pretty legit in that video. You should try it out and then post back to see how it is.

ive tried it lastyear when it came out and its HORRIBLE!! if you want to buy it and see how it works for you be my guest but i purchased it from autozone..tried it ONCE and went back to autozone/told them what i experienced and they refunded my money very quickly!

to put it simply..it turns blue when it dries then you'll have to put some elbow grease in to get your wheels back =/ im not the only one to experience these results but some have had luck with it

no problem guys...like i said you might experience some better results but my experience was so bad i wouldnt even think about buying anything from armor all ever again..(not to mention the bad results i got from armor all wheel cleaner also) and for me i wont even bother trying any companies wheel protectant because of it...do what alot of us do..clean your wheels really well and apply a nice layer of wax! looks amazing and it will make your wheels easier to clean next time! so same effect! and like i mentioned some people experience good results but ive seen many people have this whitish/blue haze show up which would have you about wet yourself lol and by the way you are supposed to let this product dry overnight since its supposed to haze but this "normal" effect of the product hazing didnt happen to me..it looked like blue dried up liquid that was poured on my wheels...

I bought mine a couple weeks ago to see if it works. It was about $7 if I remember correctly, but pretty much it didn't do anything like in the video. Maybe at first it did but in my experience it didn't. I only purchased it because I do a lot of driving and I was hoping it would repel the brake dust but to my disappointment it barely did anything. As far as it turning blue, I didn't experience that problem.

I've had better results using Black Magic and till this day I use most of their products for my car.

Never buy armor all products. They're garbage.

It leaves a white film from what I read, and protects only for a bout 5 weeks.

The Video they used is crap, dirt(unless you go offroading) and honey don't get on your rims, brake dust does.

Apparently it repelles it for like 2 weeks but then it starts to stick but its easier to wipe off.

2 weeks? Maybe 2 days max. And I cleaned my wheels prior to spraying it on if anyone's wondering.
