Porterfields worked great for me! Much less dust and no brake squeal.

Brake Dust is non existent on my W212 practically. As well, the wheels are super easy to clean. My W211's wheels turned black in just a couple of weeks, while this cars stays totally clean. Very happy about that.

I agree.... this type of wheel is very easy to clean. I clean the car once a week and the wheels do not collect a lot of break dust. Very easy to maintain.

.... Just cleaned my car, and my wheels were literally spotless, like I could eat off them, and get no black dust residue in my system. Really amazing. Knocking on wood here, as I hope it stays this way.

I just sit next to the wheels, relax and use the recommended product frequently. Every time the wheels become shiny without sacrificing the smooth efficient braking.

Virtually no dust on my 212's wheels. The Rover on the other hand...it has rotors the size of pizzas. Dust overwhelms the wheels within days of washing them.
