Removing brake dust deposit

[Knightsljx]

hi bros,

 

does anyone have any good recommendation for removing brake dust that have sort of hardened? like caked onto the rim. especially for matt rims. thanks

[Maddriver]

bro..original matt or re-spray b4?

 

if re-spray before..avoid wheel cleaners..if original..try wheel cleaners and if brake dust still dun comes out..use degreaser and a brush..this is how i deal with my berlingo caked up brake dust..

Try using APC.

all purpose cleaner.

If its a painted set of wheels, i would say go for wheel brighterner that has some acid in its content.

 

Made life damm easy for me with BMWs, they have damm scary brake dust.

 

if can't really fully remove, some may be tar deposits. Use some Tar Remover.

thanks for the advice, degreaser WD40 ok? i tried to scrap them off with a piece of plastic, most of it came out but some still trapped due to matt surface. morale of the story, dun go for matt rims

[Ivan96935sg]

Just use those rims cleaner........guess will work well.

[Fcuktion]

I believe WD40 would do for the tar deposits. Try it out on the inner barrels 1st.

good luck!

Just get some wheel cleaners from autobacs. Lots of them there.

Caution not to spray WD40 on brake disc or pads else cld be disasterous at least first couple of brake sequences

spray it on a piece of cloth and wipe.

[Melvinyuen]

maybe can remove the wheel one by one and scrub?

use WD40 and clean the wheels one by one then put it back.

Confirm clean and shiny.

And will not harm the brakes too.

:D

just a thot on these cleaners..

do drop by major supermarkets in batam the next time u r there.

it's dirt cheap.

a suggestion... go to that big workshop along bendermeer road... before Eminent Plaza...

 

they got this machine can put ur rim in and come out like new... think they have a promo now like $5 per rim... i think...

 

 

foe me i never have this problem... when i 1st got my rims... i applied a thick coat of wax/sealant... when ever wash car just hose the rims and its shiny...

 

just like the paintwork.. prevention is better than cure...
