I've seen this stuff on johns (token jock) v8 and it's impressive.

However, I was under the impression that it couldn't be bought over here?

Halfords.

An excellent product, BUT you must not touch the wheels.
Just hose off the wheels, not power wash.
[b]Anything that touches the wheels removes the product and you end up with areas
that start to accumulate the brake dust.[/b]

That's the only bit that puts me off, over one of my "trips" it may be worthless

I bought mine from the Harlow branch. Can't vouch for your car still being in the same place on leaving though

I think it it a marvel of town planning - they made it wide and flat so you can see the muggers from long way away.....

Like all provincial towns there seems to be an inverse relationship between temperature and clothing and fatness......

[stanwan]

maybe its time for a massive group buy - a couple of crates should sort it

Good (and relevant to AM) video here...

I had my car treated with Gtechniq polymer stuff and dust dosnt stick to the wheels then either, just wash with soapy water and they wipe clean

combined with anthracite wheels, they really are the low hassle option

Maybe with shipping a crate to the US, since it appears we can't buy the stuff here.

KF, it's called Armor All Wheel Protectant in North America. Works well.

Thank You. I found it in my local Advance Discount Auto Parts store on my way home from work today. I'll give it a try and see if it lives up to the hype.

BTW: got to the auto parts store right after a guy riding a motorcycle got hit by a pickup truck. It was rather unnerving to get out of my car to hear screams of pain as they loaded him unto the ambulance.

I don't think the AA Wheel Shield recently launched in Europe is the same as the AA Wheel Protectant that is available in the US, as the latter (which works very well apparently) contains a chemical that can't be sold in Europe (and Canada).

this stuff last longer, have done my wheels 3 times now in 6 years/60K+ miles
