Is there any products available to stop brake dust from gathering on your wheels, so it can just be gernied off? I hate cleaning my rims (stock ba phoon wheels, an absolute bitch to clean), so was wondering if I give em a real good clean if theres anything I could put on them to keep them that way.

Same. I just use a little truck wash and gurney off after a few minutes. Not bad but I still need to scrub the calipers a bit.

If I really want to get them spotless I use brake cleaner. Take the whole wheel off and get right in there. That dust gets everywhere. You can buy brake cleaner at most auto places. Best/cheapest to buy it in 4lt. It gets the rims looking like new as well.

Lol truck wash is what I use, works heaps better than that degreasing crap at the car wash. Still want to know if theres anything to protect them a bit more though.

Kind of off-topic, is there anything anyone puts on there rims to stop brake dust from building up, or something to make it come off easier when you do wash it?

I wash my car once a week so brake dust never gets a chance to build up. how often do you wash the car...what brake pads are u using, maybe they are too soft or something.

Being a phoon, he might have brembos...

In which case I can relate, I need only drive down the street and my wheels are speckled with brake dust, give it 20kms and they are all powdery, give it a week and my silver rims look like dark argents...
