Brake Dust

[DanSullivan]

Has anyone found a good cleaner to get rid of brake dust? We just finished a 10,000+ miles trip in 3 months and I need to get the dust off the rims Thanks Dan

Simple green for light coating about 4-500 miles or 1 week.
Purple power cleaner straight for heavy coating of dust.
Carefull of the purple its corosive and needs to be brushed on and rinsed quick to avoid goofing up rims.

thank you I'll give it a try not much luck with anything else

The purple ruined the clear coat on some chrome trailer wheels I had.

I use the stuff from the Housewares Dept called "NEVR-DULL". Of course you have to rub it on and buff it off but it leaves my wheels looking like new.

OH! I also hit all the Chrome while I'm at it.



I never cared for that spray on hose it off method of cleaning. Seems that to get one thing clean you have to mess something else up.

Greased Lightning and a soft brush, i have 160k on the rims with no rust or pitting. Also works great on the tires, hmmm a all-in-one cleaner.
