    The bad news is that brake dust barrier has been discontinued. Pretty durable stuff.

    I have used PBL wheel coating with excellent results. Here is a review and 6 month update I put together on the PBL wheel coating.
    Product Review: PBL Wheel Coating w/ 6month update
    PBL wheel coating is great. Have it on my wheels. Going strong after about 2 months.

    Then, once my stock of Brake Dust Barrier is depleted...
    (and the auction sites lose their attractiveness):
    It looks like it'll be ArmorAll's Wheel Protectant.

    Anyone try DG 501 on their wheels? I have the same brake dust issue on my S4 wheels.

    If you can find it Permanon Platinum is awesome.

    I applied it on my wife's 08 beetle, which has an audi break system, 2 months ago. It has been through one touchless wash since and barely has any break dust on them.

    I have Polish Angel Supersport on my taurus and love it.

    Next time your brakes wear out, remember to get ceramic brake shoes. They are worth their weight in gold

    Still 9-12 months is better than anything else I've tried.

    So are you suggesting I just go with applying CQuartz to my wheels then (after proper decon with IronX and clay bar)?
    Best thing I ever did was coat my wheels
