Hi

 

Just browsing the web and found a few spray on wheel products.

 

Just wondering weather any one uses them to good effect?

 

Armor All Wheel Protectant

 

Meguiars Hot Rims Brake Dust Barrier Wheel Sealant

 

Would these sort of products be safe on my force racing split rims?

 

 

 

Thanks 

 

Josh

I use Auto Finesse. I'm quite picky with wheels and like to keep them looking good. They wheel cleaner and wheel wax is awesome, once it waxed you can keep them clean so easy.

 

This kit is what I bought and it last for bloody ages. Tyre shine is in that as well so you can have shiny tyres to match the shiny wheels.

Would it all be safe on force rims? I'm not sure if they have any kind of protection lacquer or anything? If that makes sense lol.

Quote from there site bud

The Wheel Maintenance Kit has been design to work after our Deep Cleaning Wheel Kit. Both kits have been tailored around our Wheel Care Guide to insure you can safely wash and maintain the look of your favourite wheels all year round.

Although our Wheel Care Guide demonstrates our kits being used on painted wheels, you can use the wheel care kits to keep on top of your favourite steels, painted, powder coated, polished, and even magnesium wheels.

I've used other ArmourAll products and have been impressed. Never used "Wheel Protect" though.

If I am honest I have never really noticed. It help stop brake dust sticking to the wheels though
