Derdave,

I just looked up your C2 product on the internet and it looks most impressive. Now if I can just source it here in the colonies.
In your experience how many car washes will it survive before reapplication is required?

Found an even better deal on the ArmorAll wheel protectant. They sell it in a small kit with the ArmorAll wheel cleaner and a rim cleaning brush to boot. And at $16.99 CDN for all three, that's a great deal! Hopefully they have the same kit down at Costco in the US.

Cheers,
Rob

I know if you contact Rob Earle @ the Gtechniq UK site he`ll be able to sort something out about delivery.

How many car washes ? everything depends on the use the car gets and the type of cleaner.
C2 can be used as a concentrate or diluted which will obviously give different durabilty.

I found this rebate coupon for the Armor All Wheel Protectant which makes the protectant free.

I just bought this stuff and will use it the next time I wash the car. But I was wondering how careful do you have to be about getting overspray on the brake rotors (this would be unavoidable unless removing the wheel from the car).

I've wondered the same thing myself. The design of my wheels (double 5 spoke) is such that there is no practical way to avoid getting the product on the brake rotors.

Anyway, I haven't noticed any ill effects. Maybe there are other experiences out there?
