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

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)
There are a couple products available like this
I'm not sure how well they work though
Autoglym Wheel Protectant - 236g - Supercheap Auto
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).
Current:
2017 Mk2 Tiguan 162TSI, R-line, White
2020 Mk7.5 Golf R Wagon, White
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.
