Re: Meguiar's Hot Rims Brake Dust Barrier Review and Testing
Observations:
- It seems like the Brake Dust Barrier provides a coating of some sort. It also provides relentless water beading.
- The side where the Brake Dust Barrier is applied feels slicker than the side with cleaner wax or the uncoated side.
- This product doesn't repel brake dust at all. The brake dust clings to the coated, waxed and uncoated surfaces almost equally.
- This product doesn't make it easier to rinse off the brake dust with water. However, my water pressure is low. Using a pressure washer can alter my results.
- This product may make it easier to wash off the brake dust with soap or wheel cleaners especially when heavy accumulation is present. I just wasn't able to produce a lot of brake dust in my case. However, if you regularly wash and maintain your wheels, it really won't make a difference.
- The cleaner wax didn't look like it survived the extreme heat produced by the vehicle's brakes. The side with cleaner wax reacts the same way with the uncoated side.
Conclusion:
This product definitely works! It provides you with a coating that lasts a long time and will help clean up your wheels a lot easier. It lasts a long time - definitely more than your traditional wax applied on the wheels. I will definitely use this product from now on so that my wheels are fully protected. You need to try this product out. It's worth the money and you won't be disappointed.
What do you guys think of my review? Hope you guys liked it and I hope it helps. If you guys have any comments or criticisms, please feel free to let me know. Thanks for your time!

Thanks Gatoman! I think you did a great review as well. I really like how the AA repels brake dust so you have less to clean. Plus, it makes your wheels look a lot cleaner since it's silver rather than black.

Re: Meguiar's Hot Rims Brake Dust Barrier Review and Testing
On the surface, it seems like AA kills Megs BDB, but there's another chapter to this story. Washing. I was interested to see what if any affect washing the wheels with only water would do.
The AA has no affect, it's so repellant, that spraying the wheel with water makes the wheel look exactly the same, no better or worse.
The Megs is a whole different story, I just spray the wheels down with a regular garden nozzle, no chemicals.:
Megs front:
Megs rear:
OK, they're not spotless, but for having to do nothing they are pretty darn good. You would have to rewash the armor all side and then reapply the products again. I'm just gonna leave the Megs side alone and see how it goes.
Response to Marc08EX pbservations:

exactly
The side where the Brake Dust Barrier is applied feels slicker than the side with cleaner wax or the uncoated side.

you some kind of mind reader?
This product doesn't make it easier to rinse off the brake dust with water. However, my water pressure is low. Using a pressure washer can alter my results.
I didn't use a pressure washer, but my water pressure is strong, and my brake dust fierce. I can imagine spraying some cleaner and using a pressure washer would be all that would be needed instead of the 4 brushes and elbow grease that I normally need.to use.
Conclusion:
If I can do 10% of the work and obtain 90% of the results I want, that's a trade I'm willing to make. I loathe washing rims and the brake dust on this car is criminal. I will definitely use Megs BDB again.
