    Is there a reliable treatment to help reduce brake dust on alloy wheels?

    I got the dealership 'Glasscoat' when i picked up my Tiguan
    I haggled it for $595 and comes with a lifetime warranty
    at this price i thought was pretty good and i couldn't be bothered outsourcing it
    I thought something was better than nothing for this price.
    Certainly makes cleaning the car easy that's for sure

    Not really sorry you can get your wheels coated (i did on mine) it makes cleaning easier but nothing will stop brake dust

    You can get ceramic brake pads which reduce the dust but don't eliminate it

    Nothing beats good old elbow grease unfortunately

    you'd rather be seeing more dust than less though
    the more dust you see means your eating your pads rather than your rotors
    i know what id rather be replacing

    i cant remember if i saw that the Tig pads were LUCAS (TRW) which are renowned for being a dusty pad (but a very good pad)

    True, as long as they're not squealing and chewing up the rotors I'm happy.
    I guess no magic nanoparticles to eat up the dust on my alloys yet. Self cleaning cars would be a much better invention than self driving imho

    As per Kaching, just makes it easier to clean - Washing Opticoated wheels - YouTube

    Reducing dust requires a change in pads but that will affect braking feel (ceramic pads usually have less grabbiness in the initial pedal travel - also have reduced dust).

    Seems like many of us are interested in different products.. Still undecided considering my situation. Though it'll be easier to maintain and washing less often is appealing.
