    I traded my GTP in for a BMW and while I was mentally ready for the break dust, I did not expect it to be as bad as it is. Literally, the wheels are dusty after just a day or two of regular driving. I used FK425 and a bit of Zaino CS on it. Does anyone have any other tricks to help keep my wheels look clean?



    Thanks!

    honestly?



    different pads.



    there isnt really a product that will keep the wheels from getting dusty. Wheel waxes really just make them easier to clean

    Pads, and apply coats of wheel wax on a regular basis!!! If your not bothered by the look, Kleen Wheels is used by a few of my customers and the wheels exteriors stay very clean. Depending on the dealer, they may suggest that it prevents cooling of the rotors, but I have a customer that has them on his Range Rover HSE and he hasn`t had any wear and tear issues. Those are BIG brakes too!

    Akebono ceramic pads. rockauto.com has some of the best pricing around. As recommended, put some sealant on the wheels as well. I don`t recommend the Kleen Wheel shields.
