Brake Dust Solution?

I remember someone posted they found a product at CDN Tire that helps against brake dust? Went over to CDN Tire there were SO MANY products but I still couldn't locate it?

or anyone know of good solutions other then changing brake pads.

I use Wheelwax and it makes it a lot easier to keep clean and is advertised to repel brake dust. I have been using it for a while and it does help.
Here is the site where I purchased mine: http://www.wheelwax.ca/

Poorboys Wheel Sealant also does the same thing.

Just like Wayne said, Wheelwax or Poorboys Wheel Sealant seem to be most popular.

If you are running on original brake pads, the dust will always be an issue.
Later year models had the pad formulation changed so there would be less dust to deal with.

I switched over to Hawk HPS' last October and am amazed at having virtually no brake dust( just a trace) to clean off.

I don't think you'll find anything that helps against brake dust other than changing the pads. The wheel sealants mentioned will make them a little easier to clean and slightly less dust clinging to the wheels.

All the cleaners mentioned above may help, but the most noticeable solution is aftermarket pads. My Stillen (Brake Pros) pads have been on for 6 months now and they dust very little. I haven't washed my rims in about a month, and no visible brake dust on them. Stops well enough (can't really make a comparison to OEM), and costs less.....

+1 for changing pads. Most aftermarket pads leave virtually no visible dust.

I can't remember exactly when, but a year or two ago I posted about the Michelin Brake Dust Repellent product that I purchased from CT. I tried a few different products since the brake dust on my 03 G Sedan was borderline unbearable. Of the products that I tried, I found the Micheline Brake Dust Repellent to be the most effective and cut down on the brake dust quite significantly. If I still had my 03 G, I would probably still be using that product.

Is this safe for the clear coat finishes on some of our rims (volks)...I would hate to have a nice "rainbow" stain on my dish!

Afaik, it is safe for use on all wheel types......but you may want to contact Michelin if you want to be absolutely sure.

Hey yap thats the one, nice, of you're in NB? No wonder having such a tough time finding it here in Ontario, i'll keep searching.

I jumped the gun and got brembo brake pads already long time ago so can't get hawks till later later
