I just brought a bottle today and try it. It was amazing. I sprayed on the wheel and let it wait until it's dry. That is it for the day. Then the next day I saw lot of brake dust after the HWY7 cruise. I used the water and spray on the rims and it comes off very easy. The only problem is the Zymol cost me $19 buck a small bottle. :mad:

You pay the price. Howza bout making your own mix... make it less concentrate by watering it down to 1:4. Try that first.

Get an empty spray bottle, rinse, including the trigger nozzle by pulling the rigger so the clean water flushes whatever out, put in 1/4 Zymol and the rest water. See what happens... If it's too weak then go equal parts. This way you don't waste so much Zymol.

let me knowhow it works out if brake dust still washes off as easily.

Hmmm I've never tried this but once you wheels are clean, one day's brake dust accumulation is not going to stick on the wheel right? Spraying water on it should get it off even without the wheel wax, no? I mean brake dust won't come off easily after a week but after a day it should right? Educate me! If it works I'm gettin some. My wheels look like crap after a week of driving :blaaaa:

Educate you? Ok. Here we go. Although one day of brake dust is not a lot on the rims but brake dust is a sticky substance. Therefore using water will not totally clean the rims. Coating the wheel with Zymol is a barrier between the rims and the brake dust. Like wearing a condom. :D You can't use water if you don't use it. You need vinegar. Dam I'm off topic again. :o

Chris, i'm afraid the water mix will make the chemical weak. Then it will go to waste. :(

That's why you're tryin a little at a time. If it works out, you'll actually be saving money. Don't worry about wasting the first bottle. I always do to find the right blend & mix.

Gary " Like wearing a condom"..."Wash out with vinegar" lol. wtf.I don't even know how a wax on a wheel would be conforming to wearing a condom and vinegar metaphorically.lol :p . Anyways, eliminate a lot of brake dust >>PBR DELUXE PLUS PADS. Excellent pads very minimal brake dust> less cleaning..hahaha

I agree... get rid of the source of the problem so you don't have to deal with the symptoms.

After the cruise, I had more brake dust in one day than a week of regular driving :0
