F cars and brake dust

[Flytvr]

Really - really not that bad

Here's a picture on my Mini Clubvan, there is virtually no brake dust whatsoever

Looks like a lot of rust, more than dust from the pads. Car might have been stood a while.
What do people use on their wheels to make this easier to clean. I've tried poorboys wheel sealant, but doesnt seem to really help.
Also very difficult to get the stuck on dust off. It likes to build into hard scabs that wont budge.

Are you sure you’re applying correctly if that is your experience? 

I’ve used Poorboys Wheel Sealant on my cars for a number of years now and can always tell the difference once it’s applied. Apply a couple of coats twice a year and it makes the wheels so much easier to clean.

A chap I know who is a very well respected local detailer always uses Gtechniq alloy wheel armour. I have had this put on all my cars wheels for sometime, I also use Poorboys every now and then to top up the protection. The composition of the rotors also seems to have an effect on how much dust is raised. The discs on my Mini (Yellow Racing) and my Phaeton (Tarox Bespoke) were both highest quality stainless steel and neither cars suffered from brake dust fallout.

Just to add the photo of my Mini wheels is after a bout a four week period, before changing to the big brake kit looked they looked crap after two days.

Using the OEM brake pads the brake dust I've experienced have been horrible. 

The ISF has one of the worst I've seen on a car in terms of dust which is why I changed my pads to Project Mu400's and then 800's.

Mu400's are for street right? How are they in performance compared to OEM?

I always seal my wheels with Carbon Collective platinum wheels, then use Sonax wheel cleaner to keep them clean
