Brake Dust Repellant

Not sure how this stuff works, but it might be worth a try for those of us who do not have Carbon Ceramic Brakes. Check it out:

If anyone has any 1st hand experience with this product, I would love to hear what you think of it.

My experience is that the Armoral one does great for cleaning wheels covered with brake dust. But to me it seems it doesn't repel it at all. I still have my wheels cleaned every 2 weeks at the (hand) car wash.

It works well. I've purchased a small can and I was able to protect my 18" wheels about 3 times.
The coating kept my wheels clean for about 2 weeks. You could see small specs of dirt on the wheels after a while, but they looked clean for the most part.

I'm currently running brake pads that require me to wipe down my wheels about every other day for that clean look. If i leave my wheels unattended for a week, my front wheels will look dirty.

I would recomment it.

Forgot to mention this, but it does wash off when you wash your car, so I never really tested how long it would truly last.
