Other Uses for Wheel Armour

So - we've all suffered from that nasty carbon buildup on our exhaust tips.
Has anyone tried DP's Wheel Armour to say off the inevitable ?
Or - is that surface too hot for the product to be effective ?

Peace !

i use Wenol polish for exhaust tips. they not only polish it leaves behind
a protective film. given that it's for pots and pans it can withstand
the heat, i think.

Wizard makes a metal polish that I use and it too leaves a coating. My black dribble wipes right off.

i use wheel armour on my Grill. i haven't noticed any problems from the heat but i do touch it up once a month with a quick on and off process. i may switch to Epic for the grill but i doubt it will put up with the heat.

I understand the desire to keep your gold teeth shiny, but aren't you afraid that it might be a little toxic to be putting that stuff in your mouth?

Although I'm going to have to put in a bit effort to figure out how to work "schmoxic" into a conversation ...

Peace !

Whenever you need something to rhyme with 'dioxic', of course.
