Brake Dust.

I have my wheels ceramic coated and I know it's not going to eliminate the brake dust, but thought it would help. What are you doing besides changing the pads?

Other than changing the pads, there is little you can do to reduce brake dust. (Other than using the brakes less. )

Ceramic coating will make cleaning them easier. I put spray wax on my wheels for that reason.

Agree pad change to lower dust. Second choice is "ArmorAll Outlast" which makes wiping the wheels clean very easy.





You just spray it on clean wheels. Get them dirty & one wipe around with a paper shop towel.

How has the ceramic coating worked for wheel cleanup?

I thought it would be better, but the armor all brake dust spray is really good.

And it is probably cheaper as well.

That’s good to know. I have an appointment the day after pickup to have PPF installed and was trying to decide on what to do with the wheels. Sounds like Armorall is the way to go.
