Sounds pretty cool, but how in the world would it reduce brake dust? do you put it on the wheels? or the brakes? If put it on the wheels it wouldn't reduce the dust, it would only make it easier to clean (allegedly).

and more importantly, what is the hp gain?

You would apply it to the wheel I would imagine. Brake dust would simply stick to the wheel with less frequency; if this product works as claimed. The product would have to reduce the chemical and semi-magnetic attraction of the brake dust. I am skeptical of any chemical product that makes that claim. Especially one that is expected to last while driving thur a rain storm.

I think the idea is similar to what teflon does for frying pans... just makes stuff not stick to it so it's easier to clean... so... it doesn't eliminate brake dust it amkes it so you can clean brake dust off without rim polish and the such...

they also make stuff that works for the interior of your car... (carpet, plastic leather cloth, etc.) their coating one of my coworkers cars inside and out for 500 bucks so i'll see what he has to say about it.


ohh and 25whp added per wheel applied
plus adds 10 mpg fuel econy by reducing wind resistance
