Green Earth Technologies 01201 Brake Dust Shield 22 oz

Quick summary: no discernible difference; it's like I just sprayed water on the wheels.This is a waste of money. Depending on how you interpret what you read about this product, it should either reduce the amount of brake dust that collects on your wheel, or it should make it easier to clean off any brake dust which collects on your wheel. As far as I can tell, it does neither.I tried this on the wheels of a German car, which are notorious for using brake pads that generate a lot of brake dust in a short period of time (e.g., 2 weeks). Over a period of four weeks of normal driving patterns, I saw no noticeable difference in the amount of brake dust collected. At the end of the four weeks, I decided it was time to wash it. I used a garden hose with a strong spray setting to rinse, and was able to rinse off no more than what I normally would have been able to had I not used this product. Ultimately, I still had to wash the wheel to get the majority of the brake dust off.Alternative recommendation: for a cost effective product to protect your wheels, I use  Mothers 05500 California Gold Brazilian Carnauba Cleaner Wax Paste - 12 oz . Note: I only use this on my wheels, not the car's paint. This actually reduces the amount of brake dust collected. It lasts about 2 to 4 weeks, depending on your driving patterns. The downside is that it takes a little more effort to apply because it requires a buffing-off step. The upside is that it does work, and it's relatively cheap.

I have been looking for a product to replace the Michelin Dust Repellant Protectant that was on the market a couple years ago. I drive a 350Z where an abundant amount of brake dust is displaced to the front wheels. Usually after 3-4 days the entire vehicle is still sparkling clean but the front wheels are noticebly darker due to the brake dust, but with this product you spray onto the wheels after youve washed the car and dry.Nice even liberal spray on the wheels and let the product naturally dry and the wheels are left with a nice slippery wax and it does not attract the brake dust. What this does it allows you in a couple days once brake dust has accumulated is to take a rag and wipe the brake dust off and looks almost as you'd just clean the wheels. Another benefit is when it comes time to wash the car just hose off the dust off the wheels, no scrubbing, no wheel cleaner needed. Maybe just soap and wash mit to take off stubborn dust.Good product that says what it does and is very inexpensive. The old Michelin Dust Repellant used to sell on the market for almost $10.00 and the Green Earth Brake Dust Shield does the job just as good for less price.

There are better wheel protectors out there. Armour All works great but very expensive, Eagle one leaves a white film but works better than Green earths offering. Belive me I know because I have two BMW's and they are the worst producers of brake dust bar none. I finally went with clean wheels for one of my cars. The clean wheels work great but take away from the looks of the car.I don't recomend that you buythe Green earth Dust sheild. Basically all it did was make the wheels easier to clean. I agree with another poster that the brake dust doesnt wash off with a hose

I don't think the manufacturer states that there will be less brake dust on one's wheels if this product is used as a couple of reviewers have implied. What it's suppose to do is prevent the dust from hardening onto the surface of the wheel and becoming permenantly embedded in the finish. This it does very well! If fact brake dust or any other road grime that gets flung up onto the wheel washes right off. I did say wash. A good portion of it will rinse away but some areas need a little effort with a soapy sponge. Now, I do not need any special wheel cleaning product like I had in the past. Everything comes clean during a normal car washing. Super product! I will buy this again on Amazon.

I cleaned my wheels, applied liberally and "walked away". The brake dust did get back on the wheels. While it wiped off easily, it couln't be simply rinsed off with a hose. I'll look for something else.

I tried an entire bottle of this product and did not notice any reduction in the brake dust on my chrome rims or in their ease of cleaning.

Definitely helps to reduce the effort needed to clean the brake dust off the rims. The dust washes off easier than without the shield.

Love it. Does exactly what its supposed to do. 100% satisfied
