New Armor All Wheel Protectant??

[Magic Man]

mm,

Using the rockers and behind the wheels of a Boxster to experiment on, had to be a tough decision. But, the other thing I noticed is this Armorall didn't have that chemical smell, that would give an impression that it would do damage. It's more like a clear silicone for painted surfaces, that lasts a long time.

I was looking for the clearcoat to have bubbles in it but nothing, it was just smooth to touch.

Bum

As they say go BIG or GO HOME! LOL :yikes::roflblack:

I looked into what it is made of and it is a tough silicone like film that dries clear and smooth. No problems so far, and I am going to do the rest of my bikes this weekend too. :thumbup:

No, the spokes in the sprocket and the wheel spokes are suposed to line up, Yours are off 33 degrees.MM

:agree: she must have the bearings and/or hub replaced and the mechanic failed to proper mount/line up the hub. :doorag:

I bought a can last weekend and the wind here finally died down, so I could go out and clean it. We are also experiencing a 2nd pollen season and I didn't want to wash it and clean the wheels, only to see them turn a greenish yellow within minutes.

I didn't spray it on the wheels and used one of those polishing pads, soaking it pretty well. I did get a little on the right front rotor and before I started, I had my bottle of rubbing alcohol near by. I put a some rubbing alcohol on a rag and got the ArmoreAll off the rotor.

Spyderwolf, I did put some on the swingarm and will let you know how it works out. I should know tomorrow if there is any paint damage. I kind of doubt that it will effect it and when I did my truck, I did put some on the lip behind the rear wheels just to see what would happen. Nothing happened and they are still clean. The front ones are muddy and the steprails are still clean. Normally those get muddy also. This stuff is Shirley slippery.:thumbup:

No need to worry about getting it on your brakes IMO -- one or 2 stops and the friction will remove any overspray that got on them. Did my car and it had NO affect on stopping.... unlike products like the CRC brake clean/no squeak stuff--- which does make it take longer to stop for awhile.

Mine did it during a routine tire change... not sure if they did the bearings at that time or not.

Could be-- can't remember from when mine was 'right'. I know my valve stem is currently a PITA to get to.

Yeah, I wish they put the rear stem on the right side.

Thanks for the information but, around here we have a constant breeze of 5 to 10 mph off the Gulf of Mexico and spraying anything directly on can be hazardous to your health.

A few days ago I was out spraying the weeds and as usual the wind picked up. The poison blew back on my sneaks and pants and my feet and legs were burning. I'd rather kill everything than have to mow it during the hotter months. Most of the my place I had stoned but, the weeds still come up.

So I'll continue to use the pad to put this Armorall on, thanks again!:thumbup:

 

[PCBeachBum]

Thanks for experimenting on the different surfaces for us. Hopefully this stuff will work well and not cause any damage. I like that it is slicker than snot as well.

SpyderWolf,

Go ahead and use it on painted surface. I found no damage and this stuff is a silicone base, with no chemicals in it.:thumbup:

I was out riding today and the swingarm is as clean as it was when I washed it as are the wheels. I did noticed I missed a spot on the back wheel between the sprocket and will get that the next time I wash it and add some more.

I better head to Walmart and get more cans of this stuff. I'm also going to use it on my rockers and may spray the wheel wells of the truck. I might even try a spot on my boat by the drains, that always leaves a black marks. Don't know how long it will stand up from salt water but first will just do a small spot to see how it works.

Would you still have a Home! If it had turned out different? :roflblack:

Checking out the swingarm and other painted surfaces I did, like under the seat. I found no damage, just a smooth clean surface. I did miss a spot between the sprocket and the rear wheel :gaah: but, will get that the next time I wash it and add more. While out riding today, every place I put this Armor All, it's still as clean as it was when I washed it. :thumbup:

Yea she's good like that. She knows sometime the "D" in R&D stands for DESTRUCTION! :yikes: :roflblack:

It would just have been my problem to have gotten it fixed. :thumbup:

Thanks! That is great to know. Now if I can just find a Walmart that carries it before all of you buy it all up.

Figured you would that's why I asked.
I have a remote control boat and if I break it out this year will give it a try on the bottom this stuff is definitly space shuttle :cus:t.

I went to Walmart Thursday night and got the last can on the shelf. hyea: I'm affraid this Super Walmart has been cleaned out and may have to go over to Panama City, to the Super Walmart there and see if they have some.

I was thinking about using this stuff on my guns, than thought about the honey test and the oil wouldn't stay on. I could see myself at the range with a rusted up 9 mm and .45 cal.:yikes: So ditched that idea.

It's good that you have one that is so understanding. :thumbup:

I wasn't so lucky and that's why she is still in CT, married to some other poor soul and I moved here to a target rich enviornment. :2thumbs: :roflblack:

Walmart only had the Armor All Triple Action Wheel cleaner (4.97) and I sprayed it on and after a few minutes hosed it off and it was great and (Cheap) less expensive?:roflblack: The spray bottle will last 4-5 applications!!

Advanced Auto and Autozone carry it. (Walmart is the devil).

Advanced Auto and Autozone carry it. (Walmart is the devil).

Our Autozone didn't carry it. Our Advance Auto was out until next week, but at least they have a shelf marker for it.

 

[Magic Man]

Just sent the wife to Wal-Mart to get 4 more cans.

Trying it on the Prowler and Prowler Trailer tonight. PITA keeping these wheels clean when you live on a crusher run road. Then off to the wife :spyder: and Mustang :thumbup:.
