Speaking of brake dust...

no I'm not going to complain about it on the front wheels because I found something that makes it really easy to clean the brake dust with one wipe after treated.

Prestone makes it; wheel cleaner with brake dust repellant. It comes in a blue spray bottle. After I read about the Michelin brake dust repellant on Autopia I searched all over for it and came accross this at Pep Boys. The Michelin product can be ordered online I found later.

Has anyone tried the Michelin brake dust repellant?

why wold you need to use a bucket to wash the rims/tires? just a simple spray of heel cleaner, scrub with a tire/wheel brush. then simply hose off. IMO i only get more depth if i spit shine the NXT or top with another LSP. for the brake dust replellent question. i tried the Michelin Brake dust repellent and its useless. what i do is prep the wheels with Klasse AIO then put on 3-4 coats of SG on them (inside too ofcourse) and when i need to clean the rims i can just simply wipe the brake dust off but i rather just spray some car wash soap on the rims and use a whee;/tire brush on them and the brake dust will simply come off with total ease.
