Meguiars Wheel Protectant

Anyone use this ? I'm not a big Meguiars fan since I prefer higher end products but was curious. A neighbor said he has and keeps brake dust to a minimum on your wheels-- like for a couple weeks. I just put some on today. I will update my findings.

Well after almost 2 weeks of driving I really can't tell much of a difference in brake dust using this. I will wash it again Sat and spray on an extra few coats and see if it improves.

What is the actual Meguiar's product called? Is it called Meguiar's Wheel Protectant (because I don't see anything like that)?

I'm trying the Meguair's Ultimate Quik Wax on my wheels (not car body) to see if that will make it easier to keep the wheels clean (i.e. to just rinse off the brake dust). Probably too much to hope for...

Coated the wheels with RejeX, seems to be lasting longer than normal wax imo. No need for wheel cleaner now, just light wipe with soapy water and rinse off.

Yeah I got it at Target--I will have to check the exact name tonight.

Is this Armor All product come in a small aerosol spray can? I recently got it and applied it to our X6. I'm waiting a few weeks until I see results, as the videos of it are pretty positive on what it can do. This weekend, I will also apply it to our X5 or 3 series as those cars get more use and accumulate brake dust faster.

Yeah it's in a small aerosol can. I mean unless I didn't put enough on I really didn't see much of a difference. Like I said I will be washing it Sat I will put more of it on this time.
