I bought it, never tried it. It needs curing time.

Curing time? What does that mean and how much?
I was thinking of using it on my wheels and on my exhaust tips to help keep them clean.

I'm still at work. I can check the label when I get home. The product needs clean wheels to start with. I assume you clean the wheels, apply product, allow cure time. I think it is applied as a milky white product and dries clear. I glanced at the label when I picked it up at Advance.

Ive used the other eagle one wheel cleaner where you spray it on an it supposed to take the grime off without scrubbing and that worked great. Never heard of this one though.

You might want to check over in the "car care products" fourn, I'm sure that you'll get the answer there.

Bought it a week or two ago and put it on my wheels. On the V it dusts just looking at the car in the garage. Almost two weeks on the wheels and no brake dust on the wheels. I swear I used to drive 5 minutes and the wheels looked gray instead of polished.
The cure time is only 15 minutes, not that long and believe me it works and will make washing the car much easier. You will have to reapply after each washing.

From the label:

Provides an invisible coating to protect your wheels from corrosive brake dust, road grime and dirt.

Clean and Dry Wheels
Apply Even Coating to Wheel
Wait 10-15 Mins for Product to Dry
Do not touch the wheel once you have applied the product.

Thanks, just what I wanted to know. Advanced Auto has this as a 2-for-one now where you buy the Eagle One A2Z Wheel & Tire Cleaner and you get a 18oz bottle of the Keep Wheel Clean free. The KWC is like $6.99 a bottle so its a good deal.

Funny you should mention Eagle One...One of my son's friends dad works at a wholesale detail supplier and he gave me an Eagle One detail kit trial. I'm very happy with Zaino as a sealant but the kit also came with a tire brush, wheel cleaner and tire shine so I'll be giving those a try this weekend. I'll post the results back here Sunday evening.

I just tried A2Z and Keep Clean Wheel according to the directions and they both seem to work really well. I may need to read a little closer and make sure I follow the directions a little closer because I did notice that there was a bit of residual "stuff" that I had to gently wipe off. I may have sprayed the KCW on a bit too heavily.

I will continue testing/examining it a bit more in the next weeks to see how KCW performs at keeping the wheels clean over time.
