That container of it will last for a LONG time if you're only using it on your vehicles.

Whenever I rotate the tires on my vehicle, the wheels get a full scrub down, and I re-apply the PWS. Brake dust rinses off, and the wheels are much easier to clean and keep a shine on with the PWS applied. I was skeptical at first too, but after doing my research in detailing, it is worth it.
I have to say that so far, I'm not impressed with this Armor All stuff. Is that PWS safe for chrome?

Armor All does not , I repeat does not need to be sprayed on a HOT, WARM or EVEN SUN WARMED WHEEL.
Causes the worst %&*@#$! mess that you have ever tried to get off of the wheel, it instantly hazes over, and takes serious elbow grease/cleaners to remove.

Now I am talking about this wheel protector and not the reg. old Armour All protectant.

I agree 100 percent, just clean the wheels when needed, and treat as needed.

Cool. I have to say, I'm not at all impressed with this Armor All stuff. Both sides of my truck's wheels are pretty close to equally dirty. I still have most of the bottle left so I'll use it til it's gone, but I'm not satisfied with my first application of it.

I'm really not surprised.

Here's the product page for PWS.

I don't have the bottle near me, but I'm pretty sure it says to apply it to a cool, dry, clean wheel. I washed my truck, sprayed the tire spray on, wiped the wheels off real well to get the tire spray overspray off, then applied the Armor All stuff. I have to say I was skeptical that it would work real well, and the first application of it has done nothing to eliminate my skepticism.

Ordered some Poorboys Wheel Sealant this morning. The two front wheels on the wife's CC gets break dust on them like nothing I've ever seen. German cars must be particularly bad about this. If it is successful on her wheels, i will use it on the GT. By the way, with shipping, the total was $28.
