Got a brake dust problem?

If you guys hate brake dust problems, I think I've found the perfect solutions for you guys.

. . . now if I could only spray my whole car with this in the winter . . .

I'm of course kidding, but you know somebody is going to try it.

Interesting, I wonder how often it has to be applied?

Unbelievable. Damn, that stuff is good. Thanks for the post. Something tells me you just bought a sh*t load of ARMORALL shares off the NYSE. Gonna go out and get me some. I wonder what would happen if you got some over spray on the breaks....

Will this damage the clear coat on the wheels at all? I'm also curious as to how long each application will last. Other than that, GREAT product!

I am curious to see if this product would hold well on the surface of the caliper. If so, it would be ideal but I have the feeling that the caliper probably get to hot for this product.

My other concern would be to see if this product corrodes/damage the clear coat on the rims.

Does this mean we have to remove the wheel(s) each time we apply the product? I am assuming you don't want to get this stuff onto the rotors or will it burn off when you use the brakes for the first time?

Just spray onto a cloth and wipe it on.

I never get caught up with tire and wheel products. I've used Bleach tire cleaner for YEARS, thats about it. I've tried just about everything out there, and so far they all fail. Maybe I'll give this a shot.

Still have to remove the wheel if you want to apply it on the barrels.

Ive personally tried this, and Eagle Ones Keep Wheels Clean, and they are horrible! They leave a milky haze after it dries on the wheels. Used it once, and threw them both out. Garbage! Heres Eagle Ones version.

Nothing beats elbow grease if you really want a clean set of wheels.

It'll still coat a film of dust, just not as much. Depending on the speed of the car and the wheel design, etc..

This sort of product has been around for a while. They all work under the same principal (anti-static coatings, but only after you clean the wheels really well.) Some are just marketed better than others.

fwiw, I use this: http://www.autogeek.net/dp-wheel-glaze.html
