Default brake dust killer!

for a long time I've been using Orange Blast and Eagle 1 All-Wheel cleaner - both do a decent job of getting rid of brake dust. BUT last week I ran out of OB and decided to try something new - DuPont's™ new Teflon® Wheel Cleaner (see below)
This stuff is awesome! It not only cleans the dust off, but it also does a great job keeping new dust/dirt off the wheel, a claim that I was pretty skeptical about when I read it. Sure enough, a few days after using it I washed the car again (which was filthy) and I didn't have to touch the wheels - they were still spotless!!!! It says the Teflon coating protects the wheel, and believe it or not it does. Great to find a product that does what it promises.....

You can also apply a coat of Zaino on wheels to keep them dust free.

I'm gonna have to give this DuPont stuff a try though!

Never heard of AutoBarn, but we need that stuff on our Trucks. Those brakes coat the front wheels, not as bad on my car. Thanks for the info.
