    Amit, what Andy said is correct. it just repels the black dust from accumulating on the alloys.
    Earlier cleaning the alloys with those black dust was a pain. Its pretty easy now as you just need to spray water on the alloys.

    From your experience:
    So how long does the spray's effect on the rims last??
    i.e after how much time interval do you need to re-spray the chemical again on the rims??

    BTW, can you post a bigger resolution pic..
    ESP, of the rear label, I cant read the address of the importer, for the mumbai guys... :mrgreen:

    A must have product for the owners with alloys... :clapping

    I am using the spray every sunday after washing the car with shampoo.
    Just spray it at a distance of 20 cms and wash off the spray using water. Reapply again and leave it.

    The effect lasts for almost a week +. The alloys earlier used to look dirty in a day but now it looks good for almost a week.

    Address of the importer :
    MatrixOne International
    204B, Vaibhav, Behind Dindoshi Depot,
    Malad east, Mumbai 400 097
    Phone : (022) 28414792

    I'm careless about dressing tyres & Alloys. My Linea's alloys look a bit dirty. But feeling lazy, don;t know if I'll go & buy this though its nearer & on the way back home

    Since yday I'm also thinking about it, :mrgreen: telepathy?
    Earlier, I used to shout at him not to pour the last remaining dirty water on the tyres before leaving (thats what they do 100% of times)
