Brake Dust Repellant

I bought some last week. It's easy to use and works great. One week later and only a trace of brake pad dust on the wheels.

No longer car shopping...
This stuff has been out there for YEARS. Just be carefull you don't get it on the roters themselves (not easy to prevent) as the chemical will adhere to the roters and then the brakes make a "grinding" sound for about the next 120 miles of breaking. My experienced showed that the product was more trouble than benefit. Come back after some testing and let us know how it went.

Crap, with our satellite dish sized rotors....that sounds all but impossible.

Do we really have AMG branded Brembo brake calipers??? I read that on another post...

E55
Given it supposedly works so well and lasts a long time, it seems worth popping of the wheels and spraying them away from the car. This would also allow good coverage on the insides of the wheels too.

Why not put some old newspapers behind the wheel to cover the rotors before you spray?

Would it work to spray this onto a cloth and wipe it on the rims?

whoever can try this, please let us know. Thanks in advance!

SL 65 AMG and E63s AMG
I hope it works I've got 3 cars that all have the problem. The M3 is the worst. Tiny slots take for ever to clean. Cleaning the calipers and wheels is why I get my car detailed. I pay $25 a week for my detailer to rinse off and wipe down my car then he spends 30 minutes getting the wheels clean. If I could spray em off it'll be way cheaper.

Amen, post results. I've been wanting different rotors and pads more to solve this problem than to improve performance since I don't need brakes yet.

I tried the stuff maybe three months ago. I think that it helped somewhat, but I haven't used it again (I guess that I wasn't that satisfied with it.)

I've recently tried "Poorboy's Wheel Sealant" and like that better: www.autogeek.net/pbws.html

I came across another product and have ordered it (I forget the name). If if works any better, I'll let everyone know. But, for now, it seems that the Poorboy's works best for me.

I think that the product helped, I just seem to have better luck with the Poorboy's product. Maybe I screwed up in the application, who knows. I'll be interested to hear your comments.
