Title: Baked on Brake Dust
Post by: Lewy on 13 April 2011, 23:06

What a cnut!

It's taken two fcuking days (disabled wife and loopy 4yr old inbetween) to remove 10yrs worth of baked on brake dust on my 4mo's wheels.

I tried neat bilberry, APC, claying, Autoglym engine cleaner etc etc, nowt budged it, until I broke out the G3.  It worked a treat, but I still have some dust on the inside that wouldn't move, that's a job for next weekend.

Oh, and tyre fitters are tw@ts too, knocking weights on an alloy wheel! :rolleyes:

IronX will help you out in a big way with baked on brake dust.

It's out of stock everywhere I've looked, but on Polished Bliss it's been replaced with Wolf's Chemical Wheel Cleaner.

Might give that a try.

I've just got some IronX from Elite car care - but reading Polished Bliss reviews of Wolf's Brake Duster suggests it is as good if not even better! Chris @ Waxamomo is your man

Love the picture in your footer! The wallpaper up the stairs is a bit drab though...  :evil:

I'll be getting some brake duster after my current supply of Iron-X runs out. It looks to be much more economical and better value for money! Wolfs also do a perfect product to compliment this too, i think its called Clean & Coat? Its a wheel cleaner that also leaves some protectant behind! I'll also be getting some of this when Bilberry runs out.
