PS, while I LOVE my Special Build F rims I do sometime miss the easy to clean graphite finish IS 300 wheels...those things always looked clean...

RE: Low Dust TSB
I thought about getting it done but I really like how grippy my brakes are and I'd be concerned that the low dust pads will not feel like the OEM pads. The brakes are one of the things I like about the IS350, there grippy and will stop you on a dime. That's why I've been concerned about getting it done. Like I said I've been using P21 for along time and don't mind spending the money on it cause it works very well with little effort. I just thought this might work better to keep it off instead of using the P21. So far it's looking great, everyday I look at my front wheels and they still look clean, puts a smile on my face.
I do see a little more dust then 2 days ago but no where near as before without using it.
Will report back with another pic next Sat.

If people have NOT tried this, don't post negative crap against it. All that talk against using chemicals annoys me because soap is a chemical as well. Same with P21S Wheel Gel, which IS the safest CHEMICAL to use on your rims to clean it. This is a thread to highlight a recently introduced product that works better than any wheel sealant out there in the United States and has barely any side effects.
FYI, nanotech will join us very soon. Its only a matter of time before the UK nano-sealants will reach US shores so stay tuned for that as well

They do "feel" slightly different, but it's a significant improvement IMHO, it's smoother, allowing for better application and modulation of braking force.

So this concludes my review of this new product.
Here are front wheel pics I took today, it's been 2 weeks since I applied the Armor All Wheel Protectant. I have not washed my car or my wheels since applying. Since I took the last pic a week ago we have had some rain here in south fl.
If I had not used this product, in 2 weeks my wheels (especially the front) would be covered in brake dust. So for me, this stuff works as advertised. If it looks this good in 2 weeks, I believe them when they say it will keep your wheel looking clean for 4 weeks.
I hardly ever endorse a product, but I am really impressed how this stuff works as advertised. The trick I believe is applying it the correct way to get the longest lasting affect. It's funny cause right now my car is dirtier than my wheels, usually it's the other way around with Tungsten Pearl.
2 week pics since applying this product

I have a 2010 Is250, I am assuming these pads already have the low dust pads, can someone please advise?
However, I still get brake dust, in over a week, brake dust starts to appear. I drive 100% city, a lot of stop and go.

Found an review elsewhere. I looked it up, but I guess the chemical isn't too harmful..

Personally I will continue to wash my wheels.
I am not sure how much will get on the rotors and if it would affect braking.
