not fun cleaning the Y spoke wheels every day - I like to keep the car immaculate.

thanks for the help.

Sure, lots of folks replace pads and switch to a low-dusting pad. Most of the aftermarket offerings have some sort of trade-off.

There are many threads on this topic. The Armor All spray would be an interim solution 'til you figure out what you wish to do. It works pretty well.

I've noticed a huge improvement in dust reduction since upgrading to a BBK w/ StopTech Street Performance pads. I also have a rear set I'm throwing on soon.

Where do you suggest using Armor All as it is formulated for use on certain plastics and vinyl?

Sorry, that's not what I mean, Daytona, I should have clarified. They have a new product that is intended to repel brake dust on wheels:

it's ~ $7 at w*Mart.

Man, I now spend as much time cleaning my wheels (and my hands)as the rest of the car. Nasty brake dust.
I'm going to try the Armor All product for sure.
Thanks for the info.

My pleasure. You'll find it does work. I'm just not crazy about how it appears after driving in the rain.

Some of the guys are doing a 2X coating and report somewhat better results. I have yet to try that cuz the pads in our cars are fairly clean.

I think a single can would do eight applications (wheels). Some are using the can at twice that rate.

I have been using this product ever since I was introduced to it on these forums. It works phenomenally well when applied liberally. It work so well that it is obvious when you miss a spot because that spot will be black in no time and the rest of the wheel will stay clean.
