brake dust
« on: 12 July 2011, 23:05 »
i have looked but couldn't find the answer, whats a really strong/good brake dust cleaner as ill be refurbing my alloys soon'ish and before i do refurb i need to give them a dam good clean, there's a lot of brake dust (last owner must have never cleaned them and since ive had the golf been meaning to refurb the alloys so never really given a dam good clean) cant seam to shift the dust now.

Thanks in advance

Do you really need to do it if your gonna refirb em anyway? Mine had a lot of baked on brake dust before I refirbed them and just scrubbed them with a scotch pad first before wet n drying them. The scotchpad took everything off so all was good anyway. Its only gonna have worked its way down into the clearcoat at worst so I dont think you will need it, unless you want it for afterwards obviously.  :wink:
