    Re: Warning: the downside of a coating type product...

    As for whether car wash is enough or wheel cleaners are needed is dependent to a large extent on the brake pads that are on the vehicle. A semi metallic pad leaves gunk that`s harder to remove than an organic or cermanic pad . This particular vehicle has a kevlar based pad which doesn`t really stick to the wheel.

    Wheel coatings are no different to paint coatings in that they need occasional decontamination to function properly.

    Iron contamination will still stick, as will Road film.

    I’d assume that lower panels of a car that is coated can get caked up with traffic film as can all LSP’s. Suppose the wheels would too.

    Noting that I don`t run ceramic pads as I`ve never experienced optimal braking with them (what a waste to take `em off after a little while for replacement with something better ), I guess this is just another case where I`ll thank my lucky stars that I`ve never had problems cleaning *any* brake dust off LSPed/Coated wheels.

    Sure not saying that others oughta expect my experiences though, much less questioning that it is indeed an issue for some people. I`m starting to think I`ve stumbled onto some kind of Sweet Spot with regard to maintaining our vehicles, what with the way I just don`t have to contaminate/aggressively clean the way I used to...whatever`s responsible, I`ll take it!
