Today I was talking with a guy who has driven over 100 miles on his Vette and there was NO brake dust on the chrome wheel. I asked what he treated his wheels with and he couldn't remember the brand name but it is as polish and sealant he bought last year at Carlisle.

Anyone have any idea ? Thanks in advance.

Don't know the specific product, but a couple of wheel coatings are offered. You can also use a traditional paint sealant (Blackfire, Rejex, Wolfgang) as desired. They don't stop all brake dust but can help reduce the appearance. Moving to ceramic pads can also help a lot also.

I like and suggest G-Technics Wheel Armor as a single coating will last a year on most wheel types. It is ceramic based and does not contain silicones which capture dirt and dust and hold it.

Might be his brake pads. My C7 base model pads are dust free....chrome wheels are treated with Gtech C5 sealant from The "Geek". My C3 is a different story. Drive it around the block and the wheels are showing dust. I'll probably go back to OEM pads. The current ceramic pads are as bad as were the last set that I tossed that came with the brake kit.
Interesting thing with pads is that are one model that works great on one car of mine is horrible on another car.
