Has anyone used the DuPont wheel cleaner with teflon in it? It is supposed to help slow future build-up, or so they say. Is there anything that effectively coats the rims to slow buildup of brake dust? I cannot clean the rims on my RX fast enough or on the GFs A4.
Who makes a 5speed with awd provisions that will fit a 3MZ-FE bellhousing? I wonder if the alltrac celica one with old 3S-GTE is the same. Ah, to dream.
Its a Lexus RX330. 3MZ-FE is the 3.3L DOHC V6. I was kidding, I am not going to make my RX a stick, there is no point at all. I am buying a new car next year sometime and I'll just get a stick then.
Lucky, does it help slow buildup? My RX isn't that bad but the A4... jesus, I am about to have her get them powder coated gunmetal, its that bad.
The Aisin AR5 used in Solstice/Sky and Colorado/Canyon/Hummer is related to the Toyota R series transmissions which were available in both RWD and 4WD.
I put NuFinish on the wheels on my GTI. The dust didn't seem to collect as fast as before, and when it did, a quick blast with the garden hose took it all off.
Well I bought her this stuff called "No More Dust" wheel cleaner. Says designed to break down brake dust as well as coat the wheels to slow buildup and make future cleaning easier. It was the only product designed for it, so we'll give it a try.

Its her car, its underwarranty, I don't touch it. Its in the shop right now getting the pads looked at (for the 4th time). If I owned it it would have some nice gunmetal RS4 rims and S4 brakes with aftermarket rotors and pads. But its not my car. All I can do is help her clean it. My Lexus isn't nearly as bad, its just a bit annoying at times.
