A while ago My rear pads wore down to the metal and caused excessive brake dust. I drove around for a little while like that but got the pads and rotors changed. the Brake dust has seemed to have baked itself into my Sawblades. What can I use to get this off safely but with some speed.

I have a wheel cleaner I normally use, and it works but excessive force is needed with a scrubber to get it off, it would literarly probably take a couple of hours per wheel to get it all clean and spotless. Just hoping there is a strong special product I can spray on let it soak it and give scrub and it brakes up the brake dust and get it off once and for all.

Thanks for the help

 

Throw those wheels away.





















And by throw away I mean to me. Have you tried a strong degreaser?

 

only thing I've tried is my wheel cleaner. It works but would take alot of scrubbing so if there is something stronger that can cut the work time down that would be good.

do you know of a good degreeser that could cut thru it and get my wheels nice and shinny?

I do have 4 extra saw blades in my garage but I'd have to de-mount them and get good tires on them.

 

Try a diluted APC or degreaser and a clay bar will help.

 

its worth a shot. Thanks.


anyone else run into this? or am I the only lazy one who let the brake dust bake into their wheels

 

same here.... use simple green concentrate

 

I used a clay bar to remove some yellowing of the clear coat on my rims this weekend. Worked like a charm.

 

degreaser has always done it for me..usually takes me about 5min a wheel for a 5 spoke style wheel - and i always wait too long between washes so it gets baked on pretty well

 

I've heard simply green produces great results. I'l pick up someof the green juice and see what it does. Probably the cleaner I'm using is probably more mild and suited for mimimal brake dust.

I'll add this to my to do list for the car this weeked. . . . as if it wasnt long enough

thanks again guys

 

Your not the only one.
