Quick Question on Wheel Protectant

Is there any good wheel product that can be sprayed on and rinsed off to give a nice shine (and protection as a bonus)?

I have the 193 wheels and they are a PITA to get all the surface by hand. The wheel products I use now are by hand and I use them maybe once every other month mostly to repel brake dust.

Looking for something that is easy to do during my biweekly car washes.

What you need is CarPro HydrO2... it is simply amazing stuff.


CarPro HydrO2: Seal Your Wheels in Less than 1 Minute by Zach McGovern





It really doesn't get any easier! This product can be used on wheels, paint, glass, metal, you name it. If you aren't someone who has a lot of time to seal, wax, or coat their vehicle... HydrO2 is the time saver you've been looking for. Just spray onto a clean, wet surface, then rinse very well with a strong stream of water.

That's pure magic if it works.

Any thoughts on longevity? With how easy it is to apply, I would be happy with 2 weeks!

Edit: I see the post says 1-2 Months. I'll have to give it a go

Thanks! I had actually already bought this stuff before you posted as the October sale expires today and wasn't sure I'd get a response in time. I had actually seen it before from you guys but couldn't find it for awhile while looking through your posts.

I still had a few questions. I don't have a pressure washer so is a spray nozzle enough stream? I'm guessing you still have to wipe dry once you've rinsed the stuff off? Also, when spraying on the rest of the car are there any areas to watch or can you just spray everywhere and rinse immediately?

I get 3-4 months on my Lexus wheels (video below is my personal car)... but my pads hardly dust, and I wash my car regularly, so that helps improve life.


^notice even the barrels of the wheels are still beading nicely

HydrO2 is a revolutionary product... truly changing the way we protect our vehicles... by far the quickest and easiest way to protect the entire exterior of your vehicle! We use this product on the wheels of every vehicle unless the owners are upgrading to a wheel coating.

Pressure washer is certainly not needed. A spray nozzle on a hose works great!

Please read the application instructions and articles I posted! The product is amazing when used as directed, but you must only work one panel at a time. If you let the product sit and do not rinse the panel or adjacent areas completely, you may see streaking that is difficult to remove! Again, it is very easy to work with when you apply it properly... but many people don't take the time to learn about how to use it first.

Also note - Dilute the product properly! The ratio has changed to 4 parts water : 1 part concentrate.

Let me know if there are any questions!

Absolutely no issue getting on the rotors. The first time you touch your brakes, anything on the rotors will be removed due to the massive amounts of friction required to stop your vehicle
