A few weeks ago I saw a blurb in Autoweek about a new series of products by Michelin for cleaning wheels, tire dressing and a brake dust repellent. The other day I was in autozone and decided to buy all three. Amazingly enough they work great. The wheel cleaner is acid free and works great. The tire dressing looks and smells like armorall so I don't know that there is much benefit. The brake dust repellent is awesome though. I have driven my car for more than 100 miles (usually plenty to have dirty wheels) and the wheels are as clean as the day I cleaned them. I have no idea how it actually works but it clearly does. You may want to try it.

I'll have to check out Auto Zone. Although I clean my wheels a lot, this product may save me some cleaning time. Thanks!

Product names?

Or are they just the only things with a Michelin name on it in Autozone?

I have used the Michelin 3 step tire care products for about a month now, fathers day present from my kids, and I have been very happy with the brake dust repellent. I was suprised though that the tire shine product was a "spray on a towel and wipe on the tire" type of application. The brake dust repellent has helped my wheels stay cleaner though, especially the corner grooves where the spokes meet the outside wheel edge. I would buy just the brake dust repellent and use some other tire dressing, ie Stoners More Shine, Less Time etc...

Or you can be like me and buy wheels that have a neutral grey powder coat finish that virtualy blends in with brake dust and never have to clean the wheels at all. ;)

Living in Arizona, working 50 hours a week, driving my GTO 600 miles a week plus going to grad school I am happy to have found a product that helps me keep my car nice between washes. It is well worth the 6 bucks a can.
