no i found it did not do anything to stop the crap.
but it does make it a lot easier to get the crap off when it's been used.
just my findings, and yes it smell's great.

I got a couple of cans of wheel sealant from a guy at the garage, it works well too, these kind of things don't prevent brake dust but make it easier to clean off.
I was told rarerims is very good but have no personal experience.

It will give your wheels some protection and make them easier to clean, the main benefit supposedly being it is more heat resistant. Up until now though I have just given a couple of coats of Collinite 376S which you can also use on your bodywork

Only trouble is, Poorboys leaves a slightly pink residue on sand-textured wheels, which is a bit gay.

IIRC, Rimwax is blue.
