It does actually limit brake dust.
Before use, I could only drive one day and the rims where filthy.

I rate it a thumbs up product!

 

Yep, I've been using it as well and like it...it does help a bit!

 

I use it and it does help prevention and removal of brake dust, but I'm convinced that my '11 XJL will require ceramic brake pads and caliper covers to get the brake dust wheel dirting problem under reasonable control.

 

I know I'm late to this post but I just started using Armor All wheel protectant last month. I was skeptical as I wouldn't normally use any Armor-All brand products on my vehicles but bought a few since they were on clearance for $3 a bottle. I must say I was pleasantly surprised to see that it actually worked. If catch them on clearance again, I will definitely load up.

 

I haven't tried it but I plan to but frequent cleaning with Mothers wheel cleaner does a great job and where we live in Florida we don't do a lot of stop and go driving anyway. I replaced the front pads at 118,000 miles and I just replaced the rear pads at 179,000 miles.

 

Can you get it at the auto parts store or do you have to buy it online?

 

I'll have to try some. I don't do a lot of stop and go driving, but my rear wheels are always filthy. Only car I've ever had that the rear wheels got dirtier than the front. Not sure if it's the caliper not releasing properly or maybe the stability control trying to rein in my Hoonarian driving style...

 

Hey mate, WalMart, Auto Zone, etc. all carry the product.

 

Just picked some up and will give it a try. The amount of brake dust off my XJL supercharged is crazy.

 

Actually on the XJ, the rear calipers activate first, then the front calipers second. Supposed to help reduce front end dive upon braking. Learned that from my salesman!

 

That doesn't make sense...where do salespeople come up with this crap?

 

Hmmm...if you put more than 100% anti-lift in the rear suspension design, the rear brakes will pull the rear of the car down under braking. If you then put in a bunch of rear brake bias, the car will lower itself and brake level rather than the nose diving. The hard part is keeping the rear brakes from locking up, but the ABS system should be able to handle that.

 

The issue I was questioning was the timing of the brake actuation, not the braking force.

 

Yes, but engineering-speak filtered through a salesman who likely wouldn't know a tie-rod from a trailing arm....may have come out as timing rather than force.

 

Yep. And the people listening usually buy it!

BTW you have a beautiful X351!!!

 

Update and correction. The front and rear breaks are activated at the SAME time, But MORE pressure is applied to the rear brake calipers to help reduce front end dive upon braking. This would explain why the rear calipers produce much more brake dust than the fronts. This is the only vehicle that I have owned where the rear wheels produce more brake dust than the front.

 

That makes more sense. I was just busting your ***** anyway!
