Anyone know how to remove stubborn brake dust?

[skoo74]

I tried washing my wheels but the brake dust (if that) won't budge. It looks embedded and baked onto the wheels. Any simple solution?

I've searched around and people said try this or try that... but i rather hear from the people who's actually tried a product and worked.. lol...

if I can't find a solution, I may diy wheel paint.. :-(

i used degreaser and scrub with a toothbrush. it took out a lot, but there are still some in the wheels.

You might have to wetsand them depending on how bad it is stained. Try cleaner wax.

kerosene, worked wonders for me. NOT kidding either. be sure to wash them really well with degreaser afterwards and wax a few times. use some nice sythetic wax for a few layers and then a couple of carnuba wax. your wheels will thank you and the dust should stay off them pretty well.

another tip.... ceramic brake pads, white dust that doesnt stick

Oh man when I bought my car it had regular pads on it and the brake dust was ridiculous, so i put in some ceramic pads and wow! Zero brake dust, its amazing. Ceramic ftw
