Wheel Armor use??

[Sin MINI]

Recently bought a bottle of Wheel Armor from DP to treat my new white wheels (which will go on as soon as my new tires arrive).

What's the best use of this product? Will it help/hurt/make-no-difference if I Epic the wheels afterwards and/or Hydro on occcasion?

Thanks!

I just used it on my 5 year old while holies, it worked great. You could use Hydro on top when you wash, Epic would be a waste, as it will not handle the heat, and the WA is the primary protectant.

+1^ Ditto that!

Although you can top with Hydro, I would just stick to using Wheel Armour by itself on the wheels. WA is your protective layer.

Remember that with WA on the wheels, don't use a wheel cleaner until you really need to (read: as the WA starts to wear off). Until that point, just clean the wheels with either soapy water or quick detail spray and a cloth.

Ha! Blimey wins again... that's ^ what I do...

Wheel Armour - wash with Mystique - QD with Slick. Ceramic pads. Perma-clean wheels.

How long typically does WA last and how can I tell when it needs a refresh?

I'm new to the product, but with regular washing, 3-4 months. I plan on applying it every couple of month. A little goes a long ways.

yep, wheel armour (aka wheel sheild) + Hydro is a nice choice.
