Where do you buy your Armor All Wheel Protectant?

White340 · 03-25-2016, 02:46 PM

This stuff is pretty hard to find. I originally found it at Walmart ($7 for 7oz) but now it seems that they are always out of stock. AutoZone, Pep boys, etc don't seem to carry it in their stores or online. I found some sellers on eBay but that's about it.

So, where do you get yours?

Billfitz · 03-25-2016, 02:50 PM

It's usually available on Amazon, also in a 15 oz size.

Blubaron79 · 03-25-2016, 03:53 PM

Amazon and armor all's website.

Got mine from Amazon months ago, the last time I ordered. There was a thread in the detailing subforum regarding this as well I think. Someone said it may be going out of production, so I stocked up with 5 bottles.

It's a pretty great product for the price.

Yeah, I had the same problem--it seems all the local auto stores have stopped stocking the stuff. I actually never used it, but based on advice I got a month ago saying it helped to keep brake dust down I went out to buy it, to no avail.

Why are you using that?

It's cheap and it keeps brake dust (and other debris) at bay for an extended period. Plenty of other products out there that do the same, but for the price, it's a steal. I've gone 2-3 weeks without needing to really get in there and wipe the wheels down.

Yes this stuff is like gold for someone who likes to keep a clean car. the AAWP works extremely well - much more so than i thought it would. The little dirt that remains is easy to wipe off with a microfiber cloth to make them look clean again without having to wash them.

I bought it off of Ebay. Price was decent vs Amazon.

+1.

With spring time, hopefully Wal-Mart will restock. I've noticed their winter inventory is usually low.

Sonax wheel cleaner is the best. I would recommend to stay away from Armor All products. They removed the clear coat off my stock wheels on my previous IS350

That's a wheel cleaner. This is a protectant. It will not affect any paint.

RRedline · 03-28-2016, 10:41 AM

If you have M-Sport brakes (and like your wheels clean), this product is a must. It lasts a few weeks, provided you don't get huge rain in between washes.

After each wash, I use a leaf blower to get all the water off the rims. Apply the AAWP and let it sit a few hours (overnight is best). Cuts down on 90% of the dust. Pretty remarkable.

TheRealEssad · 03-28-2016, 10:56 AM

Does anyone have a link to the product page on Amazon?

G30 B58 · 03-28-2016, 11:14 AM

So this is a spray on, now I understand the draw.

Is everyone too lazy to use a good wheel wax? I have Menzerna Power Lock on our wheels and it is superb. Makes dust removal a simple spray of the hose with plain water.

M-Sport brakes here.

I use that on my car, and it is superb, but I can see it taking as long to apply and rub off the wheels as is does the rest of the car. I find that with the Armor All it's as easy to rinse brake dust off the wheels as it is to rinse road dirt and dust off the body panels treated with Power Lock.

UNC2016 · 03-28-2016, 12:33 PM

I found AAWP at Auto Zone.

Jbrock22 · 03-28-2016, 12:41 PM

They changed the name of the product and new packaging, that could be why some stores are out of it. All the major chains carry it. Works awesome.

Have you tried Target?
