Hot Rims Brake Dust Barrier

Re: Hot Rims Brake Dust Barrier

What does this offer over a quality sealant like tech2.0 or UPW?

Waxes and sealants are easily broken down by heat and wheel cleaners and generally need to be reapplied every time you clean the wheels. Brake Dust Barrier acts sort of like a new clear coat with an extreme hydrophobic and non stick component (no, it's not PTFE) and it will hold up through multiple washings. And it just does a far, far better job of preventing braked dust from sticking to the wheels.

Does it have any uv blockers?

Can I use this on my paint calipers and powder coated drums?

What if I get some of this product on my brake rotor?

I have after market rims but they have clear coated, if I use this product will this protect them fading ad kee always looking new or is cleaning then waxing them a better choice?

Re: Hot Rims Brake Dust Barrier

No UV blockers that I'm aware of, and that's outside the design intent of the product. This is not a wheel wax or something intended to behave like wax on your paint. It is a spray on, let dry coating that repels contaminants very effectively. Getting on brake calipers or drums should not be a problem in the slightest - I've sprayed it on my aftermarket wheels that have painted spokes and polished lips with a full clear coat and had zero issues of any kind. We've used this on factory wheels, bare aluminum, chrome, multi-piece, you name it. You're bound to get some on the rotors when you spray it but applying the brakes as you back out of the driveway is enough to take that completely off. Just don't expect this to prevent wheels from fading due to sun exposure.

thats really what i wanted to know, better to use wax to help prevent that.

Re: Hot Rims Brake Dust Barrier

Awesome, I cant way to try this

Does this product in anyway enhance the look of rims? Or is it simply a clear barrier for the rims?

[Ultraman]

If dust accumuoates on rims treated with BD Barrier, can you just flush them out with water?

That's the beauty of this product - a very mild cleaner, like soap and water, is generally all you really need once this is applied.

While it won't necessarily enhance the appearance, unlike similar products it won't detract from the appearance either.

Pretty much, yep. Even some fairly heavy brake dust can be usually be removed with very little effort.

Re: Hot Rims Brake Dust Barrier

Hey, Mike... I am looking forward to try this product. My wife has a BMW and the amount of brake dust that this car produces is unbelievable.. It has 20,000 miles and I am surprised the brake pads have not worn out.

Re: Hot Rims Brake Dust Barrier

I'm especially keen to try this one. It has always been a nuisance to apply wax to the rims and see it all gone in a wash.

Re: Hot Rims Brake Dust Barrier

I remember getting to test out a product like this a few years ago. While I'm sure it's a different formula the stuff I tried worked great. In fact it lasted for over a year till I sold my Jeep. Heck, It's probably still on there. lol

I'll have to make a new cardboard cut out for my rims so I don't get too much on the tires.

Re: Hot Rims Brake Dust Barrier

How many wheels is a can typically good for?
obviously wheels vary alot from 10"mini cooper to 30"donk stuff
I am thinking standard 15"-18"

Also can this product be layered to any added value/gain in protection?

You should be able to coat all four wheels a few times so a can should last quite a while. Nothing to be gained by layering or applying multiple coats though

Thank you sir
I am looking forward to trying this product

If this product is as good as I hope it is, it should come in the glove box of every German car
