Default Brake Dust Inhibitor

There are now numerous products on the market that promise protection from brake dust. Does anyone have an opinion on which works best? I have been using ArmorAll and have been generally happy with it. But last week I saw in the store a product from Meguiars, and I used ArmorAll on the wheels on one side and Meguiars on the wheels on the other as a test. The Meguiars product was a disaster; it was impossible to remove, and it removed some of the protective coating on the wheels. Has anyone had a similar experience? Does anyone have another product to recommend? There was one advertised In Panomara, but I don't recall its name.

I too use Armor All and am pleased with it. I have seen the level of dust decrease with the miles such that there is little accumulating these days. This may be because of the ArmorAll, the brakes are not as "dusty" or, I have completely worn out the pads...

Pretty expensive way to prevent brake dust.

I have found that coating the rims with Rejex slows the accumulation, protects the rim, and makes them easy to clean.

RejeX by Corrosion Technologies Corporation helps, but there is no magic bullet even for PCCB

Another +1 for the Armour All product. Use it regularly as it repels most brake dust. Inexpensive and easy to apply. Buy it at Target but see it at auto shops too.

One thing which helps, is to take the wheel off every now and then and clean all of the accumulated dust that adheres to the underside of the wheel.

Rejex.

I use it, and we sell it.
