  • Hot Rims Brake Dust Barrier Help!!!

    So I knew when I put this product on my chrome wheels it was going to be a bad experience. The product goes on and looks a lot like hair spray.

    Anyways I put it on a week ago. Today I washed my car, used sonax full effect on the tires. After getting the car done I noticed the wheels looking like complete ****.

    I break out the Megs all wheel cleaner that comes with the yellow dynocone kit. There is like this clear grime stuck on the wheels. Again much like hair spray when it dries. I was able to get this off one wheels but it's taking a lot of elbow grease.

    Ive tried rubbing alcohol too, that just made it really cloud up. I'm going to tackle it all tomorrow. Any other tips

    I will NOT be using the brake dust barrier again. Will stick with the armor all product or rejex.

    Megs you need to relook this product. May not be noticeable on painted wheels but on chrome it's horrible.

        We're sorry to hear about this negative experience with Hot Rims Brake Dust Barrier - it is not typical for this product. It is critically important that the wheels be completely clean, free of any existing wax or sealant and totally dry prior to application, and that the product is sprayed on neither too heavy nor from too great distance. It should apply like a clear paint and remain invisible on the surface once dried, which can take up to an hour.

        The product can be removed either with rubbing alcohol or by spraying the product itself directly onto a microfiber towel, essentially soaking a corner of the towel, and wiping that against the wheel to break down and remove the product. Immediately wipe the area dry and reapply if desired.

        In your case, with the remaining product around the valve stem, the latter process should remove that last little bit.

        Please feel free to contact our Customer Care Center at 800.347.5700 if you'd like to arrange for a refund or replacement.
