    Stay away from Meguiars Hot Rims Brake Dust Barrier

    So I knew when I put this product on my chrome wheels it was going to be a bad experience. The product goes on and looks a lot like hair spray. I prepped the wheel first polishing with Meg's all wheel polish.

    Anyways I put it on a week ago. Today I washed my car, used sonax full effect on the tires. After getting the car done I noticed the wheels looking like complete ****.

    I break out the Megs all wheel cleaner that comes with the yellow dynocone kit. There is like this clear grime stuck on the wheels. Again much like hair spray when it dries. I was able to get this off one wheels but it's taking a lot of elbow grease.

    Ive tried rubbing alcohol too, that just made it really cloud up. I'm going to tackle it all tomorrow. Any other tips

    I will NOT be using the brake dust barrier again. Will stick with the armor all product or rejex.

    Megs you need to relook this product. May not be noticeable on painted wheels but on chrome it's horrible.



    And another, where I was able to et most of it off, but missed around the stem. Again this is like clear glue stuck on there.

    the same thing happened to me with the armor all version. I really wanted to like it, but it seemed to be a sticky mess.

    What's wrong with just using a metal wax or ypaint wax?

    what are you guys talking about? armor all is awesome. i love their line. especially the wipes and the compound. not as good as a 3m compound on the wool pads, but still does a decent job imo.
