Prima Wheel Shield is now Prima Wheel Armour

I posted this announcement in the Vendor Announcements, but I thought I should announce it here as well- since many of you use Prima Wheel Shield...

When we named Prima Wheel Shield we performed a name search to make sure we weren't using a name already in use. Despite our efforts, we've discovered that there's already a product with that name.

So, we have changed the name to Wheel Armour.



It is the exact same formula that you've all enjoyed. The only change is the name. Just wanted to let you know!

-Heather

I think the right thing to do would be to replace all our bottles of the copyright infringed product with the new, legally named stuff.

Of course, once the makers of the real Wheel Shield and their attorneys get done with you, Heather, we all might have to buy ten bottles of the new stuff to keep DP afloat.

Wrong, now it's a limited edition. Very rare, as no more are being made...

Errr... I guess you don't use Google.

A simple Google search returned multiple products named Wheel Shield:

A spray-on wheel cleaner/protectant:


Several manufacturers make covers to protect the wheel from tire dressing overspray. They all call their products Wheel Shield:

I kind of like that Wheel Shield wheel shield thingy. Anyone use one of those?
Still think that Wheel Shield, er Armor, should be called Crushed Cockroach.

Kenchan, you've got a serious collector's item there. Obsolete and an error? Save it and in 20 years that should net you a new car.
