Dear Mr. Hahaha,
Thank you for contacting us about Armor All Wheel Protectant. We always appreciate hearing from our consumers.

Unfortunately, the new Armor All Wheel Protectant is not available in Canada at this time. The only product available in Canada is the Rim Cleaner, this will clean but not protect the rims. I will let our marketing department know of your interest in this product, it is safe on all types of rims.
Again, thank you for contacting us.
Sincerely,
unfortunate for sure, hahaha, tnx for letting us know.
Let's hope they get it up here soon.
In the meantime Amazon.com is the only choice.

C.

I got a can as well. I did the left side wheel only and left the other 3 alone so will see. I got some driving to do over the next two days so hopefully will see results soon.

I know the instruction tells you to apply liberally, but you need to coat the wheels with moderation. You'll get hazing if you spray too much. It's more apparent on darker wheels than lighter wheels.
