Default Brake dust

Does anyone know of a product to help prevent brake dust buildup on your rims?

Thanks,
Blake

i dunno about a product that prevents brakedust build up, but there are certain brake pads that their compound is formulated to not give off as much break dust.... or another alternative is to get black rims!

i think the company is called ebc....but they product itself is defineletly called "green stuff" brake pads.....they have ultra low dust.....you will always have dust tho

they also make "red stuff" which is apparently extremely good as far as low brake dust and stopping power but i think its more expensive

I believe there's also wheel wax, which doesn't prevent brake dust, but is supposed to make it easier to wash off.

Use a good wax, like, zaino, on your wheels inside and out after you next clean them. It will help keep a little bit of the dust from sticking and the rest will wash off much easier.
