Rim protection from brake dust

[WindyCity]

Hello everyone, been out of the loop for a while and i have never owned a car that had a huge brake dust issue but was wondering what is a good recommendation to help cleaning brake dust off rims during my regular washes? . Wheel wax? Sealant? My camaro dusts the rims so bad i dread using the brakes after i clean the rims. I scrub them every week so nothing gets built up, but anything i can do to speed up the process would be great!

Thanks!

I know if there isnt a picture it didn't happen so here is my suspect in question

It doesn't get much easier or more affordable than Sonax Rim Shield:

SONAX Rim Shield is a high tech polymer coating that shields your wheels against brake dust and road grime (http://www.autogeek.net/sonax-rim-shield.html)

Sweet Ride! I would look into a wheel coating. I've used PBL Wheel for about 1 1/2 years now great stuff.

I've become a big fan of Gyeon Wet Coat and CarPro Hydro2

AWESOME product and lasts longer than the mfg says, although those brakes probably dust up a storm!

They do! Its horrible. Even when i am just out for a cruise and not aggressively braking after washing it i get home and you can see it building up

Gyeon Wet Coat after a good thorough iron decontamination. Just spray on Wet Coat and rinse off with pressure. Repeat once per month and you can simply rinse your wheels and blow them dry to remove brake dust.

I'd look into a coating like Carpro Dlux or Gyeon Rim - there are many others too

Give them a decent wash and a thorough decon. Polish (if needed) then coat.

Then maintain with a something like Carpro Reset or Gyeon Bathe+, along with a product like Carpro Hydro or Gyeon Wetcoat.

I have used both the Sonax product and McKee's Wheel coating. I find the McKee's product works a little better. The dust generally just rinses off.

Doesn't the aerosol make a big mess? Trying to apply to the face could get on the tires, paint, and brakes. I could also see it being difficult to apply to the wheel barrels unless you pulled the wheel.

It makes no more of a "mess" than using a product like HydrO2.

Yes, you will get some product on both the tires and brakes... but it is a non issue.

Overspray onto paint may only be an issue if it is windy, and therefore some common sense comes into play when spraying anything in a windy environment (i.e. Probably not a good idea if you don't want it everywhere).

I have a short review on the DI AAP Blog for Sonax Wheel Rim Shield... I thought it was a nice product.

Anyone used this stuff?

Works very well and lasts a long time. Easy to use. Cost is on the high side but a little goes a long way.

My current favorite wheel coating is GTechniq C5 Wheel Armour (http://www.autogeek.net/gtechniq-c5-wheel-armor.html).
