Saw it on 2 Guys Garage

Been a long recent stretch of weeks. Carwash is 5.5 years old now and chit just starts breaking. I've spent the last 3 weeks in reclaim water (1 step short of sewage water) trying to repair a $60K water system that the company that designed it went out of business. Then there's all the typical maintenence, the Nav has what appears to be the leaky winshield short out the electical kill the battery problem, and the list goes on........

The only good is that I drove 1000 miles to charleston sc for christmas, and man, you click off the OD and let that blower hit 6 or 7 psi in 3rd gear at 70 or 80mph, and you pass those MF'rs like a rocketship. I cruised back to Atlanta averaging about 92MPH and got 14MPG (14 is a motherload for me)

The wheel shield works great. Something about the positive, negative charged ions that doesn't allow the brake dust to stick. I haven't had it on a year yet--only a couple of months, but so far it does what it claims to do. I feel however, it would work better on clear coated VS. polished aluminum wheels.

I've seen the backside, bolt on, brake dust covers in action, and these seem to work best at anything keeping the brake dust completely off.

S100 is a good product -- especially on dark colors. It's a carnauba-based product (I believe)... I've used it before (samples) with very good results...

S100, however, probably isn't the best choice for wheels because it's carnauba based...
