    Default cleaning wheels and brakes advise

    every time i wash my car. i used my wheel brush and clean and hose down my wheel.. and dry them off.. when i go for a drive EVERY time there is crap on the rims. from the brakes. like a brownish color. i want to see if i can stop this its really pissing me off. takes ages to clean the wheels. wish there was a good spray on cleaner. using the brush for wheels is good but doesnt really get in back. got 20" supersports. just like to wash the car and not have to redo my wheels after a drive. can anyone help on best wheel and brake cleaner to cut down on the crap from the brakes. i don't really get hardly any brake dust from normal driving

    thanks in advance.

    dont know what brushes you are using but the vikan brushes i got from car care products make light work of my supersports, they would be one of the easiest wheels i have cleaned.

    as for keeping the rims clean put some nanolex rim sealant over the rims and keeping the rims clean should be a breeze.

    I use Black Magic All Wheel Cleaner.Spray it on, wait a couple minutes and hose it off. I also recommend a thorough wash with water on the inside of the wheel, so that none of the cleaner sits on the brake pads or other brake parts.

    I change my brake pads to bendix, the car stops better and stops the dust too.

    Decon Gel by Wolf's. Definitely something worth trying for brake dust
