Update: have had this on my my wheels for 6 months and it makes a difference for removing brake dust. At least for several months. I thought the effectiveness had worn off, however, I just cleaned my winter wheels (which did not have the guard) and it was brutal. My car generates a ton of brake dust and this stuff is great and making it easy to clean.
My only gripe is that the stufd is green. It doesnt stain wheels, but stains your hands. Ran out of gloves and my hands a green. Haha
Note: I reccomend putting it on when (if) you change between winter and summer wheels. Much easier to properly clean and apply wheel guard.
Original review:
Easy enough to put on, non offensive smell, buffs out easily. Repels water and dirty well!
I hope it will last for several months.
LOVE!! What a great product. I haven't used anything else as far as coating systems go so I can't say there is anything better out there. But after using the Chemical Guys Diablo gel wheel cleaner and now Max Coat, I'm busy doing the rest of my vehicles. I picked up my new '17 Grand Sport Vette at the museum in Bowling Green Ky and drove it 750 miles home. I'm not sure what evil material they put in those pads but the dust was incredibly difficult to remove from the chrome wheels. The Diablo worked better than the other cleaners I had but it took some scrubbing. Once clean, I coated the entire wheel as per instructions and after several more outings, the dust comes off with the lightest of wipes with a dry microfiber cloth. No cleaner needed. I'm very impressed! I can't speak yet of longevity but i'm guessing it's the best option to use if you don't want to scrub your wheels and risk damaging them. A few tips: Buy plenty of microfiber cloths, you'll need at least 2, maybe 3 per wheel and they will clog up quickly while removing the paste. Second, I found that any applicator simply would not reach into the nooks and edges of the wheels so I put on some latex gloves and just used my fingers. Lastly, try to avoid skin contact. I got a good bit on my wrist and forearms from the flopping of the cloths. I had a nice sheen on my skin for a day or two.
I found that this product works pretty well. I feel that wheels may be marginally easier to clean, but I can't be certain. But one thing is clear, it makes your rims 'pop' with the increased shine. I've attached some pictures to show this, a before and after as well as a in-progress shot. I use a finger's' dip worth of product per wheel and it seems to be sufficient.
My only complaint is that it stains skin and likely clothes very easily. I wore gloves while I applied this to the rims and found my wrists were green when I was finished.
Overall, good product and mostly works as advertised.
Work great. I run my aftermarket wheels in the winter months with salt on the roads. With this product I just stay water on the rims and the salt slides right off.
I bought this stuff because my Golf R has absolutely awful brake dust. And while I know I could buy different pads, I like the performance, so I'll just deal.
I applied this when I first got the car, and it performed for 6 months, when it was time to swap out to winter wheels. A quick pass with the pressure washer knocks 90% of the brake dust off, and one pass with a soft wash mitt takes the rest off. No need for a ton of elbow grease, brushes, or nasty chemicals to pull the brake dust off. Thus far, I am amazed at how well it works. I will be applying this every six months and hope the story will stay the same.

Swapped off OEM Porsche rims and tires for another set for an HPDE weekend at a local track.
Thoroughly cleaned, degreased, washed again, then applied this goop to the OEM painted rims I'm going to store. Let it dry, buffed off as directed. Applied and buffed two more times. Wrapped wheels and placed in storage. I won't know how this works with brake dust until the rims are reinstalled in the Spring. I will apply to the new rims before the track weekend, if I have time. If I do, I'll submit another review after the track weekend.
If you're like me and read reviews before you buy, you probably have questions.
My wife has a 02 BMW X5 sport. If you have a BMW you know the amount of break dust is insane.
I washed the wheels really well and applied the wheel wax. I read in other reviews about how hard it is to get off and it is even harder to get off tires. I'm not sure what others did to have these problems. I intentionally whipped wax on a tire then I waxed all 4 rims. By the time I was done applying the wax I was ready to start wiping it off. I went back to the well I started on and it wiped off pretty easy, I wiped the rest of the wheels off in the same order I applied. When I was done I wiped of the one tire I intentionally put wax on (it wasn't even white, in fact it was not easy to see it. I did find it and it wiped right off)
Now to the how it worked part.
It works awesome! Usually after washing her silver wheels they are gray within 3 days and black in two weeks from brake dust. It has been 2 weeks and they have hardly any brake dust, they're not even to the gray stage yet.
I'm going to try their car wax next.
This product is the bomb for your wheels. It's easy to apply and easy to buff clean. It really does repel brake dust and dirt. I apply this two to three times a year, especially right before winter, and the wheels look amazing all year. Any dirt that does build up, wipes right off with a damp micro fiber towel. Hardly any effort whatsoever. This is a must have product if you like clean wheels.
This stuff worked really well on my new rims. The shine is unbelivable in person (photos won’t do justice). Only issue is I didn’t read other reviews; It turns your hands green so wear gloves. Break dust still sticks to the rim but I noticed it does wash off easier. Will be purchacing again.
My trucks wheels looked doomed . I bought them used for my work truck. Put this on just to see and I’m not saying it made them new. But it was worlds different
