![Question](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Now that Armor All no longer makes and sells their fantastic and super effective Outlast Brake Dust Repellent, what are people using to combat the high brake dust that comes from the OEM brake pads?
Has anyone tried the Brakedust Wheel Protective Shield from Nanoskin? It claims to "repel brake dust and road grime with amazing heat resistance & anti-static barrier that lasts months, not weeks." The online reviews look so-so, but it seems that the majority of the folks putting up those reviews either don't know how to apply it or thinks it's a wheel cleaner.

I switched to Powerstop Z23 pads, and brake dust is no longer a problem.

Dave, I was unaware that Outlast was no longer manufactured. I still have a half full can. I'd best use it sparingly until you post again with a replacement product. Thanks!

I did buy a bottle of the Nanoskin and will report the results after I've had a chance to put some miles on the car with it.

I did my entire car including wheels with Adam's Ceramic Coating. Still performing well after 6 months. Not sure how this would do against a ton of brake dust as I have the Powerstop pads all around as well.

BTW, I did have my wheels professionally ceramic coated when I had my car done 3 years ago and that does not now nor has ever prevented brake dust build-up. It makes them easier to clean though.

Update on Brakedust Wheel Protective Shield from Nanoskin:
It repels absolutely no brake dust, grime, or anything. My wheels are just as dusty as using nothing at all. The only thing is does is makes the wheels a little easier to clean.
The search for the next Armor All quality brake dust repellant continues...

Honestly, the best thing I ever did for the car was replace the brake pads with ceramic pads. It dramatically increased my enjoyment of the car with zero reduction in braking feel or power. I have a couple cans of Outlast, it did work great but once I changed the pads I didn’t need it.
For some reason my S580 produces very little brake dust…I wonder if they changed the brake pad material? I get as little dust as I did with the ceramic pads.

I bought it a little over 2 years ago for $10 a can. It is ridiculous that Armor All discontinued one of their best products. Now I'm trying to get my hands on Some AutoGlym Wheel Protector that looks to be as effective as the Armor All was. It's made and sold in the UK, but I'm waiting to hear back from their US distributor.

I'm currently communicating with the US distributor of Autoglym Wheel Protectant. It looks like it will be $15 plus shipping per can, which looks like a bargain compared to what remaining cans of the Armor All are selling for. I will report results after I get my hands on some and try it out.

Its a pretty amazing product agreed...that Autoglym product is also good, there are YouTube tests comparing them
