      Is there a reliable treatment to help reduce brake dust on alloy wheels?

          I got the dealership 'Glasscoat' when i picked up my Tiguan
          I haggled it for $595 and comes with a lifetime warranty
          at this price i thought was pretty good and i couldn't be bothered outsourcing it
          I thought something was better than nothing for this price.
          Certainly makes cleaning the car easy that's for sure

            Not really sorry you can get your wheels coated (i did on mine) it makes cleaning easier but nothing will stop brake dust

            You can get ceramic brake pads which reduce the dust but don't eliminate it

            Nothing beats good old elbow grease unfortunately

              you'd rather be seeing more dust than less though
              the more dust you see means your eating your pads rather than your rotors
              i know what id rather be replacing

              i cant remember if i saw that the Tig pads were LUCAS (TRW) which are renowned for being a dusty pad (but a very good pad)

                True, as long as they're not squealing and chewing up the rotors I'm happy.
                I guess no magic nanoparticles to eat up the dust on my alloys yet. Self cleaning cars would be a much better invention than self driving imho

                    As per Kaching, just makes it easier to clean - Washing Opticoated wheels - YouTube

                    Reducing dust requires a change in pads but that will affect braking feel (ceramic pads usually have less grabbiness in the initial pedal travel - also have reduced dust).

                      Seems like many of us are interested in different products.. Still undecided considering my situation. Though it'll be easier to maintain and washing less often is appealing.

                        Easy to wash i pressure wash 1 or 2 times a week ( due to very dusty work yard where car is parked) and hand wash to remove road grime monthly
                        If you get a glossy coating your car always looks freshly waxed without you touching a waxing cloth = bonus

                          Hi all, I've just picked up my car and the only "extra" I went for was window tinting. Now I've received the car it appears that they've tinted the front windows but left the back ones with the standard privacy glass. It's the Highline so there is some tinting but it's more see-through than the front windows which looks quite odd. Has anyone had their Highline windows tinted, and if so did they do the back ones as well?

                            I got privacy glass on mine for rear windows and rear windscreen and got factory tint on my front windows but i cannot notice any difference between them if anything the front is slightly lighter than the back

                              Of note, privacy glass doesn't have UV protection so if you got 'tinted' they should have applied a clear film to the privacy glass areas which has UV protection.

                                A colleague of mine recommended Absolute Perfection Detailing (In Adelaide). They use Camui CC4 which I believe is ceramic. They quoted me $650 for the Tiguan (haven't got it yet, wont have my car until April). Comes with 3 year warranty.

                                Does anyone else have any experience with Camui CC4?
