Default wheel protectant?

I used the armor all wheel protectant on my chrome wheels and it left a blue'sh gray haze on it. Anybody had the same results? I let it sit over night and still there this morning.

Thumbs up Hi Member

I use a product called Rim Wax by smartwax...it seems to shine up well and stays that way for a good long time..pretty easy to use and cost isn't too much..

You can look them up on the Internet under there name Smart Wax dot com

Any good durable wax or sealant will work for wheels. I used Collinite 845 for my wheels. Although for chrome, I would recommend a dedicated chrome protectant.

That product Rim Wax will work great on any chrome wheels. Also the other product will work just as great on them is the Wet Paint..safe for all glass - sahe for all chrome..

Be Happy...
