wheels are painted with the same metallic paint and laquer (clearcoat) .. so whatever is harmful for your car paint is valid also for wheels..


problem with brake dust is when its mixed up with mud and let for long, it sticks to laquer surface .. you can always use paint protector wax (used on car paint) to clean them without harming the surface.. first wash, then apply one layer and buff with a soft towel once in a month.. they wil have less dust than before..

I only use AG wheel cleaner, its a 1 hit type of thing where you spray onto the wheel, let it dwell for about 5 mins and then rinse off..... gets shut of brake dust too

Fair enough, but body paint doesn't get covered in brake dust..?

The wheels do get alot hotter though

[chrisgixer]

 Yes heat transfer from the brakes breaks.

Right, so what to use? Kosovans have already washed the wheels, with similar methods as the rest of the car, plus their wheel cleaner, yet the brake dust remains.

[TheBoy]

if Kosos have cleaned wheels, but unable to move brake dust, you're probably in realms of refurb

[minifreek]

If there is brake dust remaining after a wash, you could get a product called Iron-X that will remove 99% of the brake dust, regardless as to whether it is embedded into the paint/lacquer on the wheel or not...

Already done. As said in post 1. Outside surface is clean. The inner surface of the wheel rim is still peppered.

May I refer Mr Admin Sir to post 1.

...and bird poo comes off with basic washing. In case the body shop specialist hasn't noticed.

paste with wax..  but if your car washed weekly at least ,you wont have that dust problem or you are making very high mileage daily

[cem_devecioglu]

I can recommend a solution ..


buy some scratch resistant laquer , sand the surface of wheels with 500 wet than let them sprayed with 6-7 coats ..


then you can polish/paste them even everyday

[cem_devecioglu]

seriously wax prevent brake dust setting on them at least minimizes


I guess refurbish centers dont use the most expensive and hard laquer  just for wheels..

Weekly? In winter? With floods? It hasn't been washed for weeks.

So, cem, what to use? Dtm's RobG's and Minifreeks suggestions all look viable.
