Interesting. I assume it's safe for clear coated wheels?

I put a couple of coats of my favorite 3M polish on my wheels, and its certainly easier to clean them, but they still get pretty dusty.

 

It said safe for all wheel finishes on it. I should state that i probably do alot less braking than most people. My commute is almost all highway. But still, after a couple days without this stuff, the dust is already thick on my wheels. I think it's been about 10 days since I put this on. That includes all my commuting, through rain (which I thought would collect alot of brake dust even with this stuff) and the autocross. I give this stuff the JimmyH stamp of approval.

Aren't you the same guy with the stick on dash kit?














Loving my light gunmetal PC rims, same color as brake dust, but still may give this stuff a try.

 

Hmm, Might give it a shot....this brake dust is killer

 

Great to know. I tried the eagle one stuff once and it left a nasty white residue on my wheels and that was the end of that. can't wait to try this.

 

Oh, now you post this! I just bought some other brand of stuff last night, figuring I would try something new. (Normally I use Meguair's Hot Rims wheel cleaner.) If I had known the Armor All stuff had the Jimmy H stamp of approval I would've bought that instead.

Of course, I got home from Autozone and found a brand new bottle of the Meguiar's stuff was already in the garage, so now I have 2 bottles of wheel cleaner that will last me until the cows come home, by which time I will have forgotten about this thread and the product recommendation contained within!

 

Be carful with Hot Rims ...on aftermarket wheels...strips paint if left on too long.

 

I tired this stuff last Fall and personally didn't notice much difference in the amount of dust. Griots paint sealant on the rims has about the same affect, maybe 30% less dust, but it still accumulates.

 

All I can say is it worked for me. Maybe the Camaro brembos produce a different type of dust than CTS-V brembos. I cleaned my wheels and sprayed this stuff on on 4/9. Still no dust. Except for a few areas where it's obvious the spray didn't contact. There is one 1"x3" or so area on one wheel where the dust is caked on :lol:

 

Wait, wait, wait, you tested this stuff on a Camaro. :suspect: Now I'm not so sure...

I would really like to see a wheel cleaner that has a decent repellant mixed in. I'll still probably give this stuff a try though, thanks for the heads up.

 

yes, I slipped to the dark side

I would be in a V coupe if the entry fee wasn't $70k

 

So based on your recommendation I went and picked this stuff up. I cleaned the junk out of my wheels then put this stuff on per the instruction and let it dry for probably 7 hrs (I was at work so the time was easy). I have now been driving it for a week, including an autocross yesterday, and though my black car doesn't look that clean, my look amazing. Not completely dust free after a week, but definitely more like a normal car. I highly recommend this stuff and I will be using it from now on. O, and just a word of advice, don't touch the wheels after cleaning. You will see a dusty fingerprint on your wheels.

 

I think I am at 4 weeks now, and the dust is finally starting to collect. I suppose I should wash my car one of these days.

 

For the price it's definitely worth trying. I'm going to go pick up a bottle tonight and try it out next time I get a chance to clean the car. Honestly, I would be happy if it would keep the dust off after a week of normal driving. I have been amazed how quick these wheels get coated with brake dust.

 

I've been using this stuff for a few days now (put it on the drivers side wheel and not the passengers side) So far it really seems to work, the test wheel looks like I just washed it (well minus the places where water got on it when I pulled the car in) and the other side has a noticeable haze to it.

humm maybe some better brake pads won't be so bad now...

 

I was all set to go to Hawk ceramics. I am glad I didn't, as alot of folks say they are harder on the rotors.

 

safe on powdercoated wheels?

 

It says safe for all wheel finishes, including chrome I think. I don't think it's anything caustic. It's not a cleaner. Probably more like a wax than anything else. Besides, powdercoated wheels get a clearcoat anyway, don't they?

 

Hm-m ... think I'll pick some up next time I'm at the auto store.

Might try it on our coffee table, too.

 

youre not supposed to drive in the living room

 

this is 4 days after washing and applying to the rims.. Still looks like I just cleaned them, chrome has been confirmed!

 

Hmmmm....you think it'll work on my bed sheets? :shhh:

 

it repels dust, not lust

 

:histeric:

 

I've used it twice now. IMO, it works. It's not amazing or anything, but worth it. Definitely helps,

 

Hmmm, maybe I'll try this stuff again.

 

Gonna try this stuff on my chrome stockers tonight.

 

One caveat with this stuff: you have to make sure you spray it on generously. There is always that little section that I miss. A little strip somewhere on the wheel covered with brake dust while the rest of the wheel is pristine.
