    Dont get this in a cut or you WILL cry lol, get's the worst off easily, just let it soak, then a good ploish and loads of wax will stop the dust sticking again.

    Re: Annoying Brake Dust!

    if you can make it to edinburgh airport during the week im positive the stuff we use at work will do it,it stings my eyes and burns the nose hairs,leaves wheels shiny silver though.

    and i have a poorboys wheel sealant here to go over them to help the wheels keep the dust at bay as well.
    i hate the world

    Just spend a couple of quid on some AutoGlym wheel cleaner and be done with it.
    Please ensure all events queries are pm'd in my direction. Please be patient and i will get back to you very soon.

    Re: Annoying Brake Dust!

    get some good wheel cleaner. IF that doesnt work get a clay bar and it will remove it once done polish the wheels then wax makes life better in the future!

    Re: Annoying Brake Dust!

    lol not quite enough! yes the fairy power spray is pretty awesome for cleaning,but it will soften ANYTHING oil/grease based lol, keep it away from bearings etc :P. I use a cap full or 2 flash all purpose + car shampoo for cleaning, and then seal with autoglym super high resin polish. Awesome stuff and free when you work for rml :P
