00:00 Hey everyone, this is Johnny Hunkins with the Hot Rod Network and today we're going
00:11 to look at a brand new product from Armor All called Outlast Brake Dust Repellent.
00:17 It's pretty simple, you spray it on your wheel and it's supposed to repel brake dust for
00:22 up to four weeks.
00:25 It's a mighty big claim and we're going to try to test it today on this Z06 Corvette.
00:32 Now as you know Z06 Corvettes have one of the most aggressive brake packages that you
00:36 can get on a production car.
00:39 14.5 inch disc brakes, six piston calipers with some very aggressive pads.
00:46 This car believe it or not was only washed a week ago and you see it's got extreme quantities
00:54 of brake dust build up on the rim.
00:57 So when you combine a really soft aggressive street pad with a chrome plated rim, you end
01:04 up with a mess.
01:05 Especially this brake dust right here, it's got a kind of a brownish red tint to it.
01:10 So we're going to take this wheel off and we're going to spray half the wheel with the
01:16 Armor All Brake Dust Repellent and we're going to leave the rest of the wheel stocked just
01:23 like it is.
01:24 And we're going to drive the car around and we're going to see if the claim is true or
01:29 not.
01:32 Okay kids, we've already got our wheel clean and we've got it taped off so that we can
01:37 apply the Armor All Outlast on just half of it.
01:40 Now they say you're supposed to shake it up really good, which we already did.
01:43 And you want to spray it on and let it dry for about an hour.
01:47 So I don't know what this stuff looks like, we'll find out right now.
01:51 We let the Armor All dry for an hour, we took off the tape, now all we have to do is go
02:04 out and beat on this Corvette for a couple of hours and see how it works.
02:29 Well we've got about 400 miles on our Z06 Corvette and our test wheel here is showing
02:35 some very interesting results.
02:38 We put tape along the middle of this wheel here where the untreated section is below
02:44 and the treated section is above.
02:47 Our tape went right about there where our tire filler is and went across the hub and
02:54 in between these spokes, where you have the spoke right here, was untreated and the top
02:58 part over here was treated.
03:01 We have virtually no brake dust.
03:03 We had a whole bunch of stops from triple digit speeds in here and you can just see
03:08 that there's quite a bit of brake dust in there, considering this wheel was washed just
03:16 only three days ago.
03:18 I would have to say, if you had told me how well this product would work, I would have
03:23 told you you're full of it.
03:25 Clearly, this Armor All Outlast brake dust repellent does work.
03:32 We give it a full thumbs up.
03:34 Look at this, you can see right here where we put the tape, there's the brake dust below
03:39 and there's the treated portion above.
03:42 I mean it's just, it's amazing.
03:44 It really does work.
03:46 So we give it a strong thumbs up.
03:49 Works as advertised and worth every penny of it.
03:52 Go get you some of this Armor All Outlast brake dust repellent.
