Brake dust is mostly iron rotor dust. It turn to a rust / concrete when it gets wet if you don't wash them immediately. You can't use wheel cleaner because they all dull the finish. The brake dust scratches when you touch it so a clean bucket of water loaded with car wash soap and a clean wash mitt for each wheel is standard operating procedure. With a Forgeline polished wheel a Powerball, cordless drill, Billet polish and Never Dull wadding are your best friend, but you already knew that I love the look too and know your pain first hand. |

Pete, I already have had the fun of cleaning the wheels after they got wet, at Run to the Music City, it rained a lot, brakes while wet made a very big mess....fortunately, my wheels are all powdercoated....

I sprayed the wheels with Adams Quick Sealant Spray, and all of the rubber and dust came off really easy. Really easy to put on too. I'm going to spray the rocker panels next time instead of tape, to see if clean up is easier than messing with the tape.
Thanks for all of the advice, switching back to street pads this weekend. |
