    Re: Brake dust repellent

    It really repelled Mercedes brake dust well. I guess you could call it a coating and I’m really not sure how well it works on every other kind of wheel
    Treat it like it's the only one in the world.

    You think yours are bad - my Porsche Wheels are terrible - have to ceramic coat them and even with that they get dirty within days - oh well, they do stop on a dime

    I don't know if that was directed at me--I think my car wanted to compete with the German cars so they figured they needed brake pads that put out prodigious amounts of black dust. This car has the best brakes of any car I've owned, so I was hesitant to replace the factory pads with the Akebono's (I did wait until they needed to be changed), but I didn't notice any decrease in braking performance, not that I really push them. It was really night and day with the dust; I did the fronts first and they would still look fine and the backs (which only do 30% of the braking) would be all black.

    It's not much of a coating if it only lasts 4 weeks, so maybe Eldo is right and it is doing some crazy anti-static thing that doesn't last. You know, from alien bone dust.

    It was way different than a wheel coating. For example if you touched it, you ruined it. It somehow lasted 5 weeks outdoors and repelled dirt, grime, brake dust, etc. but if you washed your wheels you removed it. Sounds crazy right?

    That is really crazy. Even a wax would last a little longer.

    I find having piano black painted wheels camouflages the dust better lol.

    They need to develop little mini Phalanx CIWS systems for your wheels that intercept the dust before it lands. Pew PEw Pew pew

    nanobots with microfiber? I would think they would need nanofiber towels.
