Wheels and brake dust

Post by ppyvabw »

Ive been a bit lazy keeping my revolution alloys clean. Been covered in break dust and its left pits and black marks on the shiny rims. Anything I could do to move this, tried metal polish, T-cut, etc.... Apart from wire wool and a can of clear laquer what could I do

s long as the wheels are lacquered you can use brake dust remover, you can buy it in most motor spares shops, not the stuff for cleaning callipers, but cleaning wheels,
To help stop the dust building up, you can use low dust pads, like EBC Green stuff, good high perf pads, another thing to use somthing like ArmourAll on the wheels, that will stop the dust from sticking, but dont spray it on the discs by accident as silicons spray on a disc is not a good idea
