Wheels look great ! I did RimJob on mine and liked the results which is similar to Wheel Guard. I do like how easy Glen's approach looks but to really get rid of the dust I think I will change brake pads soon

I definitely agree with you on how easy it is to apply. It made my wheels look great, but as soon as I did some driving, the brake dust was caked on and didn't seem to release any easier.

I want to give the HydrO2 another chance because of how easy it is to apply and maybe it will work better for me next time.

Have you thought about changing out the pads? I am considering that just to reduce the dust.

It's the release that is important. If you have dust and want to solve the problem, it'll take power stop pads to cure it. I have a friend with the brembo/SS brakes and they are some of the most dusting I've ever seen. He uses hydro once every 45 days and wipes weekly with car wash soap.

its a bit of work, but a true coating like cquartzuk or Guyeon is probably the best you can get for getting the dust to release. If you have stock brembos, you'll always have to take a soapy/rinseless swipe to clean em.....

Yeah I will willing to go power stop pads. I am doing some AutoX soon so I am looking for better pads anyway.
