Anyone use Wheel Wax to help with the brake dust? https://www.amazon.com/Wheel-Ultimat...ords=Wheel+wax

I waxed (and or polished) mine today with regular old turtle wax liquid. Let it dry then buffed off by had. Let you know how they turned out. Lot of work.

I use the Armorall one. It can be had for pennies and lasts for a good two weeks if applied properly.

I bought and tried this. I was underwhelmed. The wax is very liquid and doesn't sit well, even when stored properly. I also didn't see any exceptional dust defying properties that had been described.

This year I am going to try a spray wax. Meguires Ultimate Quik Wax or Optimum Car Wax.
I have tried the Meguires before and it is super easy to work with. Just spray on and wipe off and it works pretty well in wide temp and sunlight conditions.
Don't know how well it holds up, but I guess I prefer a quick and easy application a few time a season than a difficult application less often. Wheels are not fun to wax.

You could also try Ultima Paint Guard Plus. It is a paint sealer. Not heard of it used for wheels, but I applied it to my F30 in the fall and it has held up well over the winter and water still beads very aggressively.

The brake dust with the M Preformance brakes are horrible. One day (50-60 miles) and the fronts are filthy. Going to try some form of wheel wax asap.
