It works on my white wheels. I drove from Modesto Ca. to Vagas around 700 miles and not hardly any brake dust. What dust there was could have been blowen off with air. It works great.

I'd hate to think what would happen if that got on your rotors or pads!
I definitely see removing the wheels before treating them!!! -

I've never had a problem with honey on my wheels.:arf:

I think the demonstration is nice but they do not take account for heat and then applied scum to the wheels? But even if it only worked to some degree anything is better than a mess of brake dust on light colored wheels. -

I'm skeptical. Wouldn't that demo work just as well with pretty much any wheel wax product on a brand new rim?
Good thing he didn't add the dog-pee element to the demo -

The way the honey beads is pretty impressive. I love the way my WheelArmour works... but I'm not sure it would shed honey. But it does a pretty darn good job on dust.

I think we need a through in-depth evaluation, including lots of pictures. If you want to leave out the Bee honey it's OK by me, or at least replace it with the other honey (thanks Goaljnky), that's also OK by me too. :arf:
So Galoki, maybe you are up at bat. -

Any wax will do that, regardless if it is for wheels or not. Dirt does not sprinkle on your wheel, and there was no heat involved. Plus I have never had any kind of honey on my wheels:rolleyes5:.
If someone sends me a can of the stuff, I'll compare it with 2-3 other wheel treatments.

I'm thinking it's not a wax (which would be more sensitive to high wheel temperatures), but more than likely a silicone based product, which by it's chemistry, will resist higher temperatures. :idea:

Metalman, your right, this would not be a natural product. But the test does not show the effects of heat, not to mention road crap hitting the wheel at 75 MPH.
I, along with many others make the mistake of calling a synthetic product a "wax".

Hey Mark, you already have that 6 month BW strip going on Poco, how about doing each wheel with a different "anti-honey" product?:arf:

. Will do the wheel test as soon as someone sends me a can of the stuff:ihih:.

I will try what you recommend having to do with the outside of my MINI -

Say what you want, but if you have never use it why are you knocking it. I've used several products including wheel wax and a couple others and this works best of all.

I'm going to try it this weekend if I can find it locally. The honey part just struck me as hilarious. I might try molasses instead........ not.
It just might be really good stuff. I tried "Wheel Wax", smelled good, lots of labor to put on R112 Cross Spoke Challenge wheels, so I am interested in the Armor-All product.
Maybe what I need to go with this are better ceramic low dust pads that are also better performing.
