well i have serious problem with it... between my sloted rotors and ferodo pads it slings some dust.. it doesnt help my wheels are light colored.... everytime i wash my wheels i have to was the inside barrel and the wheels then 2 days later they are black again... deff aggravating!!! well after doing some research i found this new product from armorall that im testing out..... heres the original link i found http://forums.evolutionm.net/paint-detailing/493107-i-finally-found-help-brake-dust.html

and here is the vid from armorall
http://www.armorall.com/products/view_product.php?product_id=33&main_group=3&category_index=wheel

my test is going to consist of a week of daily driving to see what the results look like. then im going to wash the wheels and see if it stays on or if its a product you have to apply everytime. i didnt take the wheels off and spray the inside barrels but ill do that next time.

the only bad thing i can say so far is the can is only 7oz and you MIGHT be able to get 2 applications out of it....and it also cost $9

here are some pics of what the can looks like

I've tried this stuff as well and I noticed that if you have any excess product sitting in a corner that it will discolor that part of the wheel...hopefully your results are different but IMO, I wasn't too impressed.

It may have been my post you saw in that thread. Did he discoloration wash off, no. :(
I wouldn't say it kept the wheels clean, it simply made them easier to clean since most of the dust will come off as soon as you spray them with water.

Anyways, I'm not trying to discourage you...

eagle one came out with the same type of stuff but in a bigger spray bottle. it works about the same and I found out you dont want to get it on the tire and let it stay cause it turns them white

so far i can deff tell a difference using this stuff.. heres a pic after 2 days of driving and you can see the distinct line on the inside of the barrel that didnt get sprayed. as far as any discoloration it wiped right off after dry.

Girodisc pads are pretty good on keeping dust down.
