My wheels take a beating especially in the winter with Salt etc... Does anyone know if it would be worthwhile to use the armor all wheel protectant over collinite 845 or 476?



I am looking for the absolute toughest wheel protection available and I am wondering if this combo would work or if they wouldn`t be compatible.



Thank you,



Bobby

AA Wheel Protectant doesn`t seem to be particularly durable. Assuming your wheels are clear coated, I would suggest using a sealant such as Ultima Paint Guard Plus or Optima Opti-Seal, followed by Collinite.....best of all worlds

How do you know if you have clear coated wheels? Would chrome wheels be clear coated? Sorry for noob questions. And despite AA wheel protectant`s durability, does it seem to work well until it wears off?

Chrome wheels would not be coated.

Chrome wheels would not be coated. Can you suggest a treatment regimen for chrome wheels to reduce brake dust buildup?

I use the AA thing on my wheels. I don`t mind spraying every 3-4 weeks since its so nice to use

A good sealant should do the trick. Something such as DP Wheel Glaze should do the trick. http://www.autogeek.net/dp-wheel-glaze.html
