Our wheelwax actually does change the surface polarity of wheels, and does reduce the dust that collects on them. We have run several day long experiments here with it and it does work.

SmartWax's RimWax will do the Trick. It will repel up to 75% of Brake Dust build up.

some people even use "regular" wax on their wheels to keep the dust off longer.....

I recently saw something at the store made my Michelin. It was some kind of wheel cleaner and dust repellant.

Anyone out there done any long term testing with Swissvax Autobahn? I've used it once and didn't notice much of a difference as far as brake dust was concerned.

I have done the Swisswax Autobahn, but as you says can't see much difference. For the summer wheels I have done the with Swisswax Autobahn with Plexus on top. Seems to be a lot smoother now but still to early to know since we got winter yet.

I have noticed some Zaino Z2 does really good with break dust on my E46 chrome wheels and on my magnum also with chrome wheels. Noticed less dust attaching to the wheels and super easier to clean. I first hand polished them with Zaino Z12, then applied the Z2 to the wheels. I use to use Wheel Wax and its also a great product for keeping the break dust down some.

+1 on wheelwax, that stuff really does work great, and shines up wheels very well.
after few applications the brake dust does not accumulate as much, and MUCH easier to wash off.
