Default ? DAMN BRAKE DUST ?

Every month or so I spend about 4 to 5 hours cleaning off brake dust
off of the rims using a paste cleaner and a couple of rags.

Does anyone have any expereince using any of the " spray on hose off
products "?

If so, what is the name brand and are you satisfied with the results?

Thanks for your input.

Meguiar's "Hot Rims Cool Care All Wheel Cleaner" -- OK on Chrome, no
good on alloys -- screwed up clear coat even when washed off within 10
seconds.
For alloys, I prefer a nylon "Dobie" pad with Dawn dishwashing
detergent. HTH..... Paul.

I found that this new Prestone Wheel with Brake Dust Repelent works
quite well, and when I have to replace the pads on my C6 Corvette, I am
not going to use GM pads again.

I switched to ceramic pads and it helped a lot.
