Cool. Be sure to post update every couple of weeks to see how well it lasts too.

"Street Thunder Magazine tested Wheel Shield with their garage testing program. With resounding results of 98% approval. "Everyone agreed that Wheel Shield was repelling over 60% of the brake dust (the balance just washing off with the garden hose). It keeps wheels cleaner longer, while making them easy to clean."

Who knows, could be worth a try on someone else's wheels first.

Wow thank you Tom for finding that I clean and polish my rims all the time for shows and I am allways looking to shave time off the process so that is why I was looking at this I will do my wifes car on one side and clean polish and wax as I always do and I am doing this product on the other side and we will see I will check it once a week and post pics .if it can hold up on her car it will be great I baby mine so much it would be hard to tell right away + it is in the garage up on wheel stands now until spring : )

Then it should work very well.

Seriously, I would suggest someone trying this on a set of stock rims the owner doesn't mind too much if the protective coating gets discolored or comes off.

I would think if anything is gonna happen, the wheel's clear coat would discolor.

Hook this man up with some shamwows while he is at it!!!

I just got a $100 set of Akebono Street Performance brake pads that don't dust though Or atleast, the dust is clear and still leaves the wheel shiny... in fact, my front wheels usually look better than my backs, whcih I never changed.

OK after waiting forever (20 days form the day I ordered it) I just got the wheel shield , chrome guard and rust blocker.

The snow flakes are falling here today so I wont start today but I will keep you all posted on how it works it looks like Thursday or Friday will be better weather for me to put it on and start the test .

OK i have been using this stuff on my truck and the wifes car for the last 5 months and let me tell you that the wheel shield works great and the rust blocker is just OK

On the chrome brush guard on the ford like 75$ from JC Whitney has super thin layer of chrome and boy is it pitted after the winter and the with all the rain here this spring it should be a nice color of rust in all of the pit marks but it is not there are a few spots that are ever so slightly orange but as soon as you wash it and dry it they are gone so i will give that rust blocker a 70% out of 100 % good not great . (5 months of use )

now on the Wheel shield i give that a 100% in my book I would like to show you but there is nothing to show the look as clean as when cleaned them and sprayed the Wheel shield on 3 months ago. All you have to do is wash the car and they are done .
man that is nice with her chrome rims
