Hot Rims Brake Dust Barrier

Re: Hot Rims Brake Dust Barrier

Waxes and sealants are easily broken down by heat and wheel cleaners and generally need to be reapplied every time you clean the wheels. Brake Dust Barrier acts sort of like a new clear coat with an extreme hydrophobic and non stick component (no, it's not PTFE) and it will hold up through multiple washings. And it just does a far, far better job of preventing braked dust from sticking to the wheels.

Based on this statement, why can't we just use this product on our paint? Sorry if it sounds like a very stupid question since its intended application is for the wheels. This might not add gloss to the paint but if the paint is properly polished and prepped then there's really no need for an additional gloss. If this product can withstand the heat from the brakes of the car (when waxes can't) then it should last forever when exposed under the sun. If you want to add more gloss then top it off with UQW or something.

This sounds like a non-permanent opti-coat.

Cool, will definitely pick this one up. I hate cleaning wheels.

Re: Hot Rims Brake Dust Barrier

Sounds like something I would like in my arsenal.

Currently I use Megs Brightener 4:1, spray on let sit for 45 secs, then hose off. I then use APC+ at 10:1 on the wheels, but I use a brush to agitate, then hose off. This routine work great for me, but I wash my wheels quite regularly. And I have a lot of Megs stuff...& I don't detail on the side (for $$$)....guess I just want to use up my supplies.
I'm hopeful that once I apply this brake dust barrier...I can skip the APC+ step in my routine.

That's Truth wheel dust on a German car looks like somebody literately came over and spray painted your wheels.

Re: Hot Rims Brake Dust Barrier

Thank you sir
I am looking forward to trying this product

If this product is as good as I hope it is, it should come in the glove box of every German car

Re: Hot Rims Brake Dust Barrier

How many wheels is a can typically good for?
obviously wheels vary alot from 10"mini cooper to 30"donk stuff
I am thinking standard 15"-18"

Also can this product be layered to any added value/gain in protection?

You should be able to coat all four wheels a few times so a can should last quite a while. Nothing to be gained by layering or applying multiple coats though

Re: Hot Rims Brake Dust Barrier

I remember getting to test out a product like this a few years ago. While I'm sure it's a different formula the stuff I tried worked great. In fact it lasted for over a year till I sold my Jeep. Heck, It's probably still on there. lol

I'll have to make a new cardboard cut out for my rims so I don't get too much on the tires.

Re: Hot Rims Brake Dust Barrier

I'm especially keen to try this one. It has always been a nuisance to apply wax to the rims and see it all gone in a wash.

Re: Hot Rims Brake Dust Barrier

Hey, Mike... I am looking forward to try this product. My wife has a BMW and the amount of brake dust that this car produces is unbelievable.. It has 20,000 miles and I am surprised the brake pads have not worn out.

Re: Hot Rims Brake Dust Barrier

What type of wheel cleaners do you recommend to prolong the life of this?

Currently using Sonax Full Effect and Chemical Guys Diablo Wheel Gel.

That's the beauty of this product - a very mild cleaner, like soap and water, is generally all you really need once this is applied.

Does this product in anyway enhance the look of rims? Or is it simply a clear barrier for the rims?

While it won't necessarily enhance the appearance, unlike similar products it won't detract from the appearance either.

If dust accumuoates on rims treated with BD Barrier, can you just flush them out with water?

Pretty much, yep. Even some fairly heavy brake dust can be usually be removed with very little effort.
