Btw. Wanna do an even trade of your Brembos for my 1 lt brakes?? I will ease your pain

ToolFan66 · 02-09-2013, 03:45 PM

Yeah because it's such a pain to get in the car and roll it forward..

CamaroJim56 · 02-09-2013, 04:04 PM

Was just a tongue in cheek complaint, I know they are better, know they are gonna dust up.

Thanks to those who have given help and solutions.

Some decent brushes or rolling her forward will probably be my solution. Would love to take them off for one good cleaning and preventative treatment, but no jack...makes it tough. And no place to store a good one... keeps me from that route.

So far, a great ride. Could be worse, she could be under 3 feet of snow like the poor guys in New England.

Hang in there all, summer WILL come.

Jim

Ditto. Hawk ceramics - almost no dust

I know, just ribbing you.

I use a soft sponge- like brush for washing drinking glasses that I bought a dollar store . Works perfect and when it gets too dirty throw it out and buy a new one

soloknight6 · 02-09-2013, 06:02 PM

You need new wheels. I can clean mine at any angle with my setup.

2nd on the Wheel Woolies. They have cheaper versions (maybe $10) at the auto parts stores. I've been using them for years.

And I DO like the inside rim to be clean, may have to adjust my expectations.

Just wanted to vent... :-) not a real problem, just a first time cleaning observation.

You could buy a decent floor jack and the pads, you do it yourself and it'll still be cheaper....

family man · 02-09-2013, 06:13 PM

You HAVE to get a floor jack and jack stands.

Cam2011 · 02-09-2013, 07:27 PM

I use the Daytona brush and it works like a charm, no need to move the car an inch.

EBC Redstuff pads DO DUST, FYI. Got the EBC Rotors so got matching pads.

LimaCharlie · 02-09-2013, 11:02 PM

Cleaning the brake dust is a small penalty to pay considering how well the Brembos stop the car.

Bumblebee2012 · 02-09-2013, 11:16 PM

$5 at AutoZone. I can get around the Brembo counter weights and all.
