The problem i have with these products is that once they are compromised you have to clean the wheels, often with a cleaner to get them back to a condition where you can reapply it with out "sealing in" brake dust etc. Often we are talking 3 weeks or less on performance brakes!

Personally thats why i find a durable sealant like EGP works so well, yeah it wont repel brake dust like its a polor oppersite. But what does build up wipes away in a second, month after month before its compromised.

Thats months, before im back with wheel cleaners and lots of brush time! Other wise its a mitt and ez detailer for the barrels at the wash stage for me.

Cant help but recommend a spritz of UQD on the wheels after the sealant as it inhibits build up even more! Also EGP is water like, easy to apply with a finger applicator!

I will see how this fairs if and when i get my hands on some!

Bought a bottle to try out. Currently on my vehicle as well as 1/2 of my hubcap. Gonna do the same tests for fun later

Back of the can says protective barrier repels brake dust, dirt, and road grime. Last up to four weeks.

Well if it doesn`t repel brake dust we know it repels honey. LOL

Interesting product with little work to be involved with. I like that. Getting lazy to clean my meshed wheels. Keep us posted on the outcome!

My luck Killer bees. :lol

The video on detailingbliss shows it works.

Another poster over there said he used it on his father in-laws truck two weeks ago and it did a great job on preventing brake dust.

I guess I`ll go out and see how it does.

Works fairly well BUT the coating is sticky after initial application. I`m hoping it`ll go back to normal tomorrow though. Its like dipping it in silicone in a way

I agree, it is a bit harder to clean the wheels, though I don`t find I need wheel cleaner, just a bit more scrubbing. Without this stuff, my wheels are black in a week, which means I need to wash 3 times as much, so it is a fair tradeoff in my book.

$8+ at Checkers here. Can says it covers four wheels and last four weeks.

For that price ($96 a year) I think Chemical Guys has some better sealants

**nosbusa1700** · 03-20-2010, 11:48 AM

It left some white streaks on my wheels. I wiped them off after letting product sit overnight. We`ll see how it does.

Hello everyone. Today I bought a can and sprayed half of a wheel to do a comparison.

The directions were pretty simple. I did clay bar the wheel as an added step so that I would have a clean surface to work with. It also mentions to let your car sit at least an hour to properly dry. I will post an update in 7 days maybe sooner.

The wheel in the picture is on my 2006 A4.
