Armor All Shield is even better than a wax. It forms a protective shield that prevents dirt and grime from sticking to your car. Once applied, each wash reactivates the protective shield to maintain shine and protection for up to 10 washes, eliminating the need for regular reapplication. Easy to use! Simply apply a thin, even coat of product onto a small section of clean vehicle, then immediately and lightly wipe away product. No drying time. No circular buffing.
