DetailersPutArmorallOnMyRims....
As per my post in " General HHR", I bought my new HHR Saturday.
This may be a stupid question but I was talking with the salesman after he followed me home in the car I didn't trade in. I live a ways out in the country and have to drive the last mile on gravel road. After he arrived he said that I should have told him about the gravel and he wouldn't have had the guys put armorall on my rims. I told him, "why do you think I ordered the running boards?" He knew, I guess he forgot.
My question is, is it normal to put armorall on the rims? I have the 16" Machine-faced aluminum wheels.
If not, what's the best way to get it off?
Thanks in advance.

Talked to my boyfriend who is a detailer and he said hot, soapy water should take it off...just wash them really good with a sponge or wash mitt. He also said it is NOT normal to put Armor All on rims...all it does is make them look shiny and turn them into a dust magnet.

I can vouch for the dust magnet part.

ArmorAll isn't designed for chrome, metal, or aluminum!!!

Are you sure it's Armorall and not silicone? A lot of dealers use silicone on the wheels and tires to make them look shiny for a few days. If it's Armorall, isopropyl alcohol will take it off. Silicone washes off with a bit of scrubbing and some Dawn dishwashing liquid.

EZ4U2CHere, It would probably be just as time consuming to take it in and let them do it. You're right I should make them do it, but just I'll do it myself. To me the less it's in the dealership the better.
