X6M Brake dust
Does anyone know of a product I can use on the wheels that repels brake dust? If I clean the wheels I get about two, maybe three drives out of it before they are discolored from the brake dust. GRRR! Anyone have any special solutions they know of - anything magic? I will be forever grateful! Thanks, -S |

Best thing to do is get the wheels coated with Opti-Coat. Will make cleaning wheels much easier. You can also check out Youtube - search using OC 2.0 or opti-coat

Wheel Wax is also a good, low cost option.
It's not permanent like Opti-coat, but it's easier to apply and lasts 4-6 weeks.

I agree, you will be happier related to amount of brake dust; however, there are no after-market brake pads or brake rotors that will give you better braking power than original BMW oem. I am talking from my past experience, believe me ...
