Default Brake dust

So Ive heard that the brake dust is harmful because of the abestos** but today Ive notice on my tc that the wheel were dark as crazy and that meant that Ive been braking like a woman lately because of all that dust on the wheel. SO for all you rims lovers... is there any dust repelent liquid you can put on ur rims so it wont collect dust? or has that not have been invented yet?... because cleaning the rims is a bi**iiiiATCHEEEE

i think they just came out with one that repels break dust. I've been meaning to get my a$$ to autozone to check it out but been rather lazy.

Did a quick search.. and woooila

How does Michelin Brake Dust Repellent work? Michelin Brake Dust Repellent forms a thin barrier between your valuable wheels and the environmental attack of brake dust, road soils, grime and film. Michelin Brake Dust Repellent uses patent-pending polymer technology to create this barrier that repels brake dust and makes subsequent cleanings quicker and easier.

Im not sure new brakes have absetos anymore. I dont think most of that brake dust repeler works either. I guess try 1 wheel and not the other and see if it makes a difference.
