    WHAT!!!! HOW THE HELL! How did it make honey bead? Even my sealants and waxes cant do that. To be honest I think it might be legit. At first I was like "lol, they just put water on one side for the dirt to stick" then I saw the mud, then the honey, and I am blown away to be honest...

    Need to find a really cheap armor all product to get one free :)

    Looks promising. I just wonder how a video with someone using a wheel sealant/ wheel wax would differ.

    Im sure that my wheel sealant doesnt bead honey... $3.49 (plus rebate) is the cheapest AA product to get this free, so this is pretty cheap :p

    Ill try honey on my wheels ones day :p

    This actually looks really promising. I just hope it doesnt leave white residue like eagle one's keep clean.

    I wonder spraying these will be n e good to the brakes, or would I need to spray on applicator and apply instead....

    When Eagle One first introduced their Keep Clean Wheel product (same as this product), they posted up video demonstrations of this exact same test with the honey. This video and the Eagle One video are legit.

    I bought two bttles of the Eagle One version to try on my wheels and it really does keep them surprisingly clean until the next car wash (usually a week or two of durability). On the other hand, I find PB Wheel Sealant to do little or nothing to reduce dirt/grime build-up.

    BUT !! The Eagle One product noticeably dulls the shine of the wheels...you can see a light white-looking coating on the rims, whereas Wheel Sealant gives my wheels an absolutely brilliant shine. So, I stick with the PB Wheel Sealant.

    I am tempted to try the Armor All product...just a little hesitatant that it may leave a visible coating like the Eagle One Keep Clean.

    I just try and use the longest lasting stuff on my wheels. I've also heard that the Keep Clean stuff worked well but didn't look too much into it. I get good results with Duragloss 105. I somehow haven't tried 845 yet.

    Well I will be all of your guinea pigs. I just drove up to Advanced Auto parts and purchased three bottles. Basically, they have a coupon for $10 off $25 that you can use as often as you want (just search google) so it was like getting 3 cans for the price of two. If you factor in that I will use the rebate form too, it is like getting BOGO on them.

    Nevertheless, just cleaned one side of my daily driven cars wheels and applied this stuff. Lets see how it holds up over the next month of driving, including a trip to S. Florida for Detail Fest. I'll post up the results once they are in. I'll let you know if I see any sort of white film, although it does say that there will be a white film on the bottom of the tire where the runoff is, so I am guessing this will be the case.

    I just stopped by my local advanced and they didnt have any. I was going to use the coupon like you did. I didnt want to leave without anything so I went to the clearance rack and picked up a bottle of NXT car wash for $4. I did notice an empty spot on the shelves and all the price tags for Autoglym products are up.

    I went to the one off of Roosevelt and Adams. I didnt really take a good look at the labels. The only ones I remember was SRP and HD wax. I saw the price for HD wax($50) and I just walked away. I'd rather wait for walmart to stock them. I think they were going to stock like 5 or 6 products though.

    hmmm, i might check this out as well. maybe applying it via applicator will eliminate the white runoff or film.

    Very cool. Hmmm hopefully the durability is better than the suspected 1 to 2 weeks :)

    I have to try this.

    Nice find :)

    I was actually contemplating purchasing a bottle of this stuff the last time I was at walmart. Im not sure why I didnt end up buying it though.

    BTW, armorall tire dressing is top notch. Just because it can be found in major retail chains doesnt mean its bad. I love the extreme shine dressing and the regular stuff is as good as any. Not everything has to be boutique
