    4* Wheel Cleaner review+2000 Camry test bed w/S100 Paint Cleaner and Wolfgang Sealant

    Decided to clean up my mom`s car today, since it still had bugs on it from the Hurricane Frances evacuation :lol

    -Wash w/Eagle One WET, dry w/Meguiar`s waffle weave
    -4* Wheel Cleaner Gel on wheels
    -S100 paint cleaner via PC 7424 + Polishing pad on 5
    -WG Deep Gloss Paint Sealant via PC 7424 + Finishing pad on 4

    Here are 2 pics before anything. The car had AIO on it from 2 months ago, and I put Meguiar`s #16 on one half of 2 separate panels. There was no difference in beading....the water just pooled up on the hood.

    Now here I used the Four Star wheel cleaner gel.

    -Before
    -During
    -After rinse
    -After repeating and agitating w/a wheel brush

    Not a true spray and rinse wheel cleaner as you can see, but still a fantastic product.

    That wheel looks great....I noticed that it took off all of the light brake dust, but some stuff I couldnt even take off with my finger so I can`t blame the wheel cleaner for that. If you don`t let them get TOO dirty I think you could use the spray and rinse method without any problems.

    Almost 4 weeks later...quick update.

    Paint is still extremely slick, and beads like I just applied it.

    The car has not been washed once.

    So, based on what you saw, is it your conclusion that:
    1. AIO alone lasted as long as AIO with #16 on top of it.
    or
    2. Neither the AIO or the AIO/#16 combo lasted very well.

    And:
    3. Do either one of those two products bead?
    4. Do you feel that the protection was gone or just the beading?
    5. I would have thought the #16 would have lasted two months. Doesn`t that seem like less durability than you would have expected?

    When I was in New Jersey, the #16 side was still beading, while the AIO side wasn`t. Few weeks later, neither side was beading, but bugs still washed off fairly easily, so I`ll assume that the AIO was still there.

    I feel that I got the durability I expected from #16, as the car is put through absolute hell (never washed, sits outside 24/7, bugs collect on the paint, etc).
