Looks like Eagle One is owned or tied in somehow with Valvoline - didn't know that either. I guess a lot of people wax their wheels, inside and out, to make it easier to clean off the brake dust. You sound like you might be a candidate for Zaino. I was really expecting to see a pic of your LR2 wheels when I clicked through to your CarSpace album. /hint Replies to this message: gkubina (Mar 09, 2009 8:58 pm)

Replying to: steve_ (Mar 08, 2009 6:42 pm) Thanks Steve! Excellent --- I will definetly check out the Zaino products. I tend to seek out and use teflon based polishes and the Zaino looks right up my alley. The Eagle One product is really new and you are right, not much data out there yet. Even on their web-site. In my opinion, waxing your wheels probably has the same affect but would tend to leave a wax buildup. The Eagle One product comes off easily with light rubbing. In fact, I touched the wheel when I first applied to see how it felt and the next day could see brake dust building up already where I touched the wheel. I just washed my LR2 Saturday and will post a pic or two of the wheels after 1 week. Thanks for the idea.
