Default Painted Porsche Wheels and Armor All Extreme for brake dust issues

I've got white painted factory Porsche wheels on my GTS that collect a ton of brake dust. I wanted to see if this is a product I can use with out damaging the wheels: http://www.armorall.com/products/whe...l-tire-cleaner

The other issue: Does the spray affect the brakes if their accidentally sprayed on the pad/rotor? I know it's highly acidic and you should be careful where you spray it.

Thanks

You need to take the wheels off and clean them throughly. Then use a tire sealant. There are many brands available. While it won't prevent brake dust it will make the wheels easier to clean.

It's the product I use and have no problems. They do say to not apply it to a hot wheel or rotor I think

I don't use that product but do use Armor All Outlast. It does a great job at preventing the sticking and accumulation of brake dust.

+1 on the Outlast dust repellant. Works great!

Just tried the Armorall Dust Repellent and am impressed with the results. Used it on the front wheels which are the worst for dust. Hawk Ceramics already installed which are a low dust product.

+1 for outlast. Best for simple wheel patterns. Wasted on E88s.
