What do you recommend?
 

Is there anything that one can spray/wipe on your rim and not have the brake dust stick? Everytime I get a car wash on the weekend and by the end of the week, my rims are almost black.

I know there are pads that puts out less brake dust but even that, still has dust.

Or is there no such thing available? Just wondering

2 choices:

1) Ceramic pads
2) wax your wheels. then you can just hose the brake dust off

ceramic pads will still dust, just not as heavily as normal pads.. about 80-85% less which is huge and will lead you to think there is no dust, but there really is...

weekly washing of your vehicle and cleaning the wheels will keep the build up from becoming a nightmare to deal with...

Wheel Wax worked well for me.

so if I wax my wheels I can just hose the black stuff off without scrubbing?

It will just take a lot less effort.

hmmmmmm...never thought about waxing the rims before. it might be worth a try

it is worth it. most car fanatics do this.

Wax works well if you have a nice smooth clearcoat on your wheels (not pitted or porous). Use a spray on or foam type wax. I hate dirt, so my choice is a quick detailer which I use on everything inside and out, top to bottom, almost daily.

i wax my wheels every month or so. then i use quick detailer for day-to-day up keep. It's rare that you'll see my wheels dirty.

I am another proponent of the wheel wax definitely makes life easier!

wow, i thought i was anal about keeping everything clean....but daily cleaning my rims. i just don't know how you guys find the time to do that.

kudos to you guys who are so loyal and dedicated. well, i used to be but with a new job, and a 9 month old baby...i can hardly find time to even post here.

I thought I was bad for cleaning inside and out once, maybe twice a week. Now I can show this thread to my wife. :)

:bustingup

i use windex on practically everything.
no wonderr my car is a rolling piece of shit right now. :rofl: :bustingup: time for a new one. :thud:

Ceramic pads will give you less dust but you get squeak noise... wheel wax is the best solution in redicing dusts. www.wheelwax.com
