BEST wheel cleaner for caked on Brake dust..

5.0Flareside · May 1, 2012

I've found it!!! instead of scrubbing and scrubbing and scrubbing with typical soap and water..

Scrubbing Bubbles..

my front wheels on my truck were in pretty bad shape and i legit thought i'd have to get new ones cause they were so bad...

but sprayed them in scrubbing bubbles today... and sprayed them off at the quarter wash with the high pressure wand... BAMM!!! pretty clean...

bad thing is i REALLY need new center caps..

before.. and this was after washing and scrubbing with soap and water...

A good polishing will help keep brake dust off and make it easier to clean.

Tidy bowl cleaner works better than the bubbles way better.

Nice tip... btw, center hubs at LMC truck are $69.95 for a set of chromed molded plastic at LMC Truck. I was able to get 3 sets of 4 originals for $2.15 each ($8.60 a set) at the you-pull yard!

What's it do to the finish??? I used grease lightning for a little while until it dulled the finish on the rims and I had to strip and re-polish.

I use Meguiar's Hot Wheels cleaner on my rides - cuts right through. THEN ************** I use a wheel wax or polish. It really helps keep the dust off.

Meguiar's wheel cleaner followed by Mothers polish.

This was my first thought. Something made for porcelain might be to strong for anodized finish.

Turtle wax chrome polish over here in West Missouri...

I use wadding polish on mine, takes the gunk off and they look great...

I have a set of those center caps still, I think anyway. I'll look when I get home.
