Brake dust repel with Wheelwax
 

Ordered some Wheelwax online about a week or so ago, and applied it today. It was like $14.00. Very easy to apply, kind of a pain in the a$$ to remove/buff to a shine. I applied 2 coats to the front wheels, and 1 coat to the rear!

Wheels feel like glass, and are so shiny. Let's see if they repel up to 50% of brake dust like advertised!

I always used Rejex on all my surfaces, worked out pretty well.

Order some Sonax from detailersdomain, the best wheel cleaner on the market

Let us know. I have. Brembo Grand Turismo kit on my GT. Take one spin around the block and my wheels look like Gunmetal. The X5 is bad too.

I have used them all. swissvax, wheels wax, sonax, Chemical guys, DP wheel glaze and a few others (swissvax being the best I have tried). They work O.K. as long as you continue to clean your wheels. Once applied avoid harsh wheel cleaning chemicals or the coating will be removed. Water and soap and strong stream of water will work to get rid of loose brake dust, but I am afraid some elbow grease will be needed to get them clean. They are easier to clean just don't expect not to wash them. The only way to reduce the brake dust is to go to a ceramic pad.

I did a test once, using Wheel Wax on half of the wheel, and nothing on the other half. To my surprise, the Wheel Wax side collected more brake dust than the unwaxed side. A half-to-half comparison should be pretty accurate, vs. a wheel to wheel.

I tried Zaino on one wheel and it seemed to help, but it wasn't a direct half-to-half comparison, so it's not a definitive test.

I may try it again this Spring and see what happens. May I'll try three wheels -- Wheel Wax vs. Nothing, Zaino vs. Nothing, and Wheel Wx vs. Zaino.

I found they will attract dust after first application. I also found that after removal of the first application wetting the wheels again then lightly drying them helped. Maybe static build up from rubbing and the water may remove some of the charge. Just an observation.

I'll try that approach when I test them again in the Spring.

Rejex rocks! :thumbup:

From the looks of these replies....seems like my WheelWax miracle, will be no miracle :(

Thanks for the responses!

Changing my brake pads made all the difference in the world.
