Hey guys,

i dont know about your car's though mine was suffering from major brake dust to the front wheels, i would polish them one day, and 2 days later BRAKE DUST!!

Well a few weeks ago i started using the auto glym alloy wheel seal..... i thought to myself most likely wouldnt work.... just more bullcrap from the shelf..

Believe it or not... IT WORKS!!! no more brake dust builds up on my wheels...!! its abit pricey $20 for the bottle... but worth the money!

It seems like a wheel polish that dosnt let brake dust stick to the rims

here is a link to a shop who sells it... i bought my bottle from Repco...

honestly this stuff works! it takes about 3 to 4 weeks before i get a slight dust build....and thats a slight dust build which i cn hardly see....

its a spray that you spray onto your alloy wheel.. and you simply polish it off with a rag....

perfect for all types of alloy wheels... Auto glym is not classified as a cheap product so yes it will be fine with those expensive jap wheels!

+ 1 fantastic stuff; used it on my beema as they have terrible brake dust issues.

basically i removed each wheel one at a time and washed them thoughly (inside and out) with dishwashing detergent.

Dried the wheel and sprayed a nice liberal coat on....waited 30mins and applied a second coat before putting the wheel back on the car.

Process was repeated with other wheels; basically a high pressure hose at the local carwash would remove most of the brakedust and every now and then i would give my wheels a wash with car shampoo.....no need to scrub as the dust just comes off.

I've been using a wheel wax.

I will give giving this stuff a go. A spray would be much easier to use than having to wax on, wax off.

Tried NON acidic wheel cleaner? Spray on, leave it on for a few minutes, and hose off. Sparkeles the wheels, cleans off any crap build up. But you still should use a 2nd sponge to take off remaining residue. Then I would suggest applying this brake dust repellent product.

    • I also used Knox driveshafts when I the slip yoke T56 to the 3bolted TR6060 type. I believe I was one of his first jobs as it literally changed hands when I was there, started by the old owner and finished by the new. Everyone seemed pretty great about it. So wasn't shy/seemed pretty knowledgeable when dealing with weird custom people like me.
    • Just a reminder orange park was cool back in the day   and drifting the main circuit was even cooler   f**k I miss that car  
    • We used Knox Drive shafts years ago when we were doing gravel rally, good guy but I heard it had changed hands? He's got a lot of stuff and is miles cheaper than GJ and so on. He used to have a lathe setup with a MIG torch on the tool holder so he could get the uni welds just right, quite a clever guy. I just got a driveshaft done for my sequential installation and that was through Balancing Services Australia in Preston, they did the Gibson cars in the old days. New genuine CV's, billet yoke, new centre bearing and chome moly shaft was $2k.
    • Thanks for sharing that mate, I've got a couple of spares on the shelf but all the unis are tight....will give old mate a shout. BTW are you sure it wasn't just a $400 paint job? Any detail of what they replaced (cut/reweld?)
    • Yeah I saw that about the US Q50 recently, apparently it was shown to Inifiniti dealers (probably to help with their depression about the cars they can sell). Seemed like a really obvious step to me, the platforms are very similar in many ways. Even if there aren't many people who actually put the money up it should really help with image/reputation. What hasn't been clear anywhere if that is a V38 model of if they are just going to add the trans as an option in a new model year. What they did with the Z from 370z to "Z" is just weird so I'd be surprised if they released this as a V38. Great news for me to have an option; it is far from confirmed that I can get any decent track sessions through the auto so having a manual I can swap to is great.
