I was thinking about picking up a can of this stuff.

I have a similar product from EagleOne and it seems to work OK, but it does leave a little bit of a white residue which is noticeable on the S-line wheels because they are a gunmetal gray color.

Does the Armor All stuff leave any white residue on the wheel?

I'm just worried what kind of chemicals are in it. Some cleaners actually have chemicals that eat away at the clear coat. Thats why for my wheels I just use soap and water.

that product was developed to fight Mud and ntural debri, not to avoid brake-dust building up in wheels. Brake dust will eat through that chemical compound in no time!

None at all!

I've used both the Michelin and Eagle One products. They both work to some degree but essentially have to be re-applied following a cleaning of the wheel (weekly, for me).
