Poorboys will certainly protect your wheels, but it doesn't offer much help with keeping the wheels clean in the way the AA stuff does. I keep some P21s on hand for detailing friends cars that have been neglected, but you can usually get by without it if you take decent care of your car. You don't really need a wheel cleaner if you keep your wheels clean, I just use ONR. How would this compare to the ArmorAll product? I'm no detail expert, so just asking. amazing stuff.įor wheels, I use PS21 to clean, and Poorboy's World Wheel Sealant. Not only that, you can dilute it in different ratios to make a quick detailer, or clay lube as well. So easy, so quick, amazing shine, and you use just a couple gallons of water. As someone else on the forum once stated it's the "milk of the gods". I love it 'cause as I get older I have less and less time to spend detailing.įor washing, nothing beats Optimum No Rinse. BTW you can opticoat the rims as well and it will help shed brake dust. Since then it's just washes and the car looks amazing. I paid a pro $350 (Canadian) to do a corrective polish to make the paint perfect, then Opti-Coat. There is a guy on Autopia who's been testing it for almost 3 years on a car - even pouring muriatic acid on it! It's still holding up! Once it's on, you just have to wash and it stays shiny and protected - no wax or polish. It's basically like a second clear coat - not a sealant or wax. As RedBread will tell you, on Autopia it's a hot topic, as this stuff is amazing. Here's what I'd recommend (as I've done it). Be aware that wax will attract more dust, sealants will keep it down, but tend not to have that last little bit of pop, should you care. Our 1er is Jet Black, and to keep it looking clean, it requires fairly frequent washes, but it's garaged day and night, so I can usually get away with one or two washes a month and I tend to do a full detail twice a year and add wax over the sealant every other wash or so. Provided it doesn't get wet, it will hold up for a month of skipping washes, if you're so inclined. It doesn't keep the wheels 100% clean, but maybe 90% after a week, and still maybe 75% after two weeks. So now I can recommend Armor All Wheel Protectant and you might understand why I'm hesitant to do so. I clean the inside of cars with water and use water based vinyl dressings like 303. I'm a fairly avid car detailer, I hang out on Autopia, I buy and try tons of stuff from our vendors, I use sealants and wax, own and use both an orbital and random orbital polisher, know my way around wool pads, etc. ![]()
