Rim protection from brake dust

[Desertnate]

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

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.

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.

May also wanna consider changing your stock pads. My stock Brembo pads dust insanely, I switched to Hawk Ceramics and what a difference. I actually coated my wheel with CQ UK...

I know that an option but it only has 2000 miles on it and i do plan on taking it to the track, maybe when they are closer to needing replacement i will get something different

I know a few people with bmws that swap out the pads because of the stupid crazy dust blackening out the rims

What is the safe option for rinsing the wheels after sonax rim shield without removing it?

I used Chemical Guys sticky citrus to clean my wheels once I used this product and it did a great job cleaning the wheels while not wearing down the protection, even mixed in DUB and Meg's Mirror Brite wheel cleaner, both color changing wheel cleaners and still, Sonax wheel shield held strong. On my car I got a solid 2 monthes of protection.

This such a great product
