Helps with Keeping Rims/Calipers Clean
All,
I saw this from another post so I figured I would give it a shot being the brake dust on the GSF on a good dry day is bad and I must say, this stuff really helps. Now this stuff does not keep your rims sparkling, but it makes them look not as dirty bigtime if that makes any sense. Also, those of you that have the orange calipers, it really keeps them looking clean (cleaner than the rim).
I have no skin in this but I would suggest giving a can a shot and give feedback if it vastly improves the appearance or if I am just getting old. For me, I am not washing my car near as much due to the wheels and brake dust now.

The break dust on my GSF is so excessive, that my entire damn car is covered with break dust. I mean it seems someone spray painted over my white car.
I may have to do ceramic coating on my wheels and my enteir car cause im sick of the break dust. Never experienced a car with this amount of break dust.

My brakes were squeaking a lot too though so I got them replaced for free for through a TSB with the alternate pads, which significantly reduced the dust. My wheels now stay clean for so much longer and I only need to clean them once every few washes. The braking power isn't as strong with the alternates but to be honest it still brakes fine and is well worth the peace of mind of not having to constantly clean my wheels.

I could have used this before when I had the stock brakes on. If i was in stop and go traffic after cleaning my wheels, there was fresh film of dust all over them. I hated having to constantly clean my wheels.

Lou - like you, I was doing the sock thing before finding and trying this stuff. Again this product does not keep the wheels sparkling, just looking a hell of a lot better (in my opinion) than nothing.

I stopped using it. I just do a light wash on my wheels every 2 weeks

I agree on the film but compared to the abundant brake residue, I think it's a better alternative. .
