Brake Dust

[L84THSKY]

I am pretty lazy about cleaning my car especially the rims. Months ago, I bought this wheel wax to reduce brake dust. Last time I washed my car, two weeks ago, I applied the wax to the wheels. Now I look at my wheels, and the brake dust is noticeably reduced. I would say it reduces the build up by 50% or more. Not only that, it is supposedly easier to clean them next time around. I'll report on the next wash.

Here is the link to the stuff.

"WheelWax changes the surface polarity of your wheels to repel brake dust particles."

Oh come on. Really? Is it possible for a mere wax to do that?

Still... thanks for the reminder. I plan to clean up my car tomorrow and hopefully wax it. I generally wax the wheels too, but I've just been using whatever wax I have. I can't imagine that it really matters much for chrome wheels. I think the chrome already puts an inverse polarity on the surface of the wheels. ;-)

And you're right... waxing the wheels definitely keeps them cleaner longer, and when you do wash them, the dirt comes off easier.

+ 1 for this stuff. It works really well and it has a nice fruity smell too! Seriously, it's just like regular wax to apply but it makes cleaning much easier and quicker. I've actually cleaned the brake dust off my wheels with a few of those disposable blue shop paper towels since I put this stuff on them. Wipes right off.

One nice thing about charcoal wheels, you can't evem see brake dust!
