Thanks for the idea. It's cool to know that you've tried it and it works. I've never heard of using "Pam" for controlling the brake dust or helping with the suicidal bugs that get on the front bumper after a nice road trip. I'll try it on the rims very soon. Heck I can't wait. Good looking out guys.

Okay first of all this my experience with this and I am only offering my true real life expereince with this idea.

I can not believe that I fell for this. This was obviously a joke and I fell for it. What a moron I was to think that this would work.

IT DID NOT WORK FOR ME! IT WAS THE WORST MISTAKE I HAVE EVER MADE IN REGARDS TO CLEANING MY WHEELS!

The spray actually attracted more brake dust than ever before and made my wheels look terrible in the process.

The spray baked onto the wheels I guess from the heat from the vehicle and the weather.

When I attempted(key word - ATTEMPTED) to clean my wheels, it took me an extra 30-40 more minutes to clean my wheels and the extra 30-40 minutes are in addition to the time it normally takes to clean my wheels. It took a lot and I do mean a lot of gentle scrubbing and some simple green to get the baked on brake dust off of my wheels. I honestly thought that I would never get my wheels clean again. It was a terrible experience and I would not want anyone else to ever have to go through this.

THIS WAS A MAJOR WASTE OF TIME AND A MAJOR HEADACHE. More than frustrating. Not worth it to me.

I pride myself on being very helpful here to all of my fellow members and being more than very honest in all of my posts and or replies.

If you have not tried this and are thinking about doing so, DON'T!
Take my helpful advice and save yourself some time, frustration and a major headache.

I can not believe that I was naive enough to believe that this would acutally work. IT DID NOT!

For anyone who has success with this(?), great and good for you.

Live and learn, I learned a valuable lesson from this. I am actually shocked that I fell for this. Never again. YOU GOT ME GOOD/BAD!

Oh yeah, for the record. I am not laughing and I did not find this amusing in the least.

It's very rare that I get angry here or post something that is not very positive, but I had to share this with anyone who was thinking about trying this. I'm honestly trying to help out my fellow members who are trusting like I am. DON'T TRUST THIS!

i've heard that some guys who run at bonneville use cooking spray in the wheelwells to make the salt clean up easier. i've run on the salt flats and the clean up is a bicth.

sucks to be that guy

NOVAwhiteTypeS

wax your rims , using cooking spray LOL he used of used olive oil

fast_daddy_car

A hose attached to a propane tank would have taken that pam right off your rims

Allout

Some of the guys that race dirt tracks will spray WD-40 on their body panels for easier clean up but that's a whole different deal than PAM on wheels. Plus the spray PAM has the potential on getting on your rotors/pads and contaminating them.

Not too smart of a move.

gto2050

Can you image trying to stop after coating your wheels with PAM? How could you keep it off the disks?

Klamalama

Yeah, PAM simply sucks!

Everyone knows to use EVOO* on wheels. It's 100% natural and bio-degradeable. Furthermore, it has a wonderful aroma with that first hard stop.

As a secondary benefit, you can rig up some wire framing around the wheels to cook up some baccala!









*Extra Virgin Olive Oil

superdds

sorry but that was one of the funniest things i've heard in a long time.

suXor

ACtually, it does work on the paint. People that take long road trips, will spray regular pam on the front end and hood. THe bugs can't stick to the paint. It's real easy to clean off to.

Would I ever do this? Hell no....but others say it works.

READ THIS BEFORE YOU JUMP TO CONCULIONS !

LITTLE KNOWN FACTS OF WD-40

I thought that you might like to know why I am pleased to be one of the original investors of this product. When you read the "shower door" part, try it. It's the first thing that has ever cleaned that spotty shower door. If yours is plastic, it works just as well as glass. it's a miracle! Then try it on your stove top... Voila! it's now shinier than it's ever been. You'll be amazed.

The product began from a search for a rust preventative solvent and
de-greaser to protect missile parts. WD-40 was created in 1953 by three technicians at the San Diego Rocket Chemical Company. It's name comes from the project that was to find a "water displacement" compound. They were successful with the fortieth formulation, thus WD-40.
The Corvair Company bought it in bulk to protect their Atlas missile parts. The workers were so pleased with the product, they began smuggling (also known as "shrinkage" or "stealing") it out to use at home. The executives decided there might be a consumer market for it and put it in aerosol cans. The rest, as they say, is history.

It is a carefully guarded recipe known only to four people. Only one of them is the "brew master." There are about 2.5 million gallons of the stuff manufactured each year. It gets it's distinctive smell from a fragrance that is added to the brew. Ken East (one of the original founders) says there is nothing in
WD-40 that would hurt you.

Here are some of the uses

I have even heard of folks spraying it on their arms, hands, knees to relieve arthritis pain.
One fellow claims spraying it on fishing lures attracts fish.

WD-40 has been designated the "official multi-purpose problem-solver of
NASCAR," a ringing endorsement if there ever was one.
