brake dust removal
kam:
Hi guys just a small tip to remove stubburn brake dust, I bought some patio and paving cleaner rom screw fix , it costs about £7 for 5 litres, just dilute it put it in a spray bottle and spray the wheels leave for about half an hour and wash off, really stuburn dust can be taken of with a scrubbing brush

.
Half an hour sounds quite a long time to leave something to eat away the brake dust. I would be very keen to know what chemicals are in a paving/patio cleaner.
I use Autoglym Custom Wheel Cleaner and the instructions say not to leave it on for much longer than one minute.
Also, is a paving/patio cleaner safe on pads. I expect so but it's too important to assume anything.

Are you frickin kidding me. No way in a million years would I spray patio cleaner on my prized alloys , let alone leave it for half an hour to do god knows what damage. Go buy yourself some quality alloy wheel cleaner and leave the patio cleaner to clean your patio :stupid:

Can I have a pint of what your drinking!!! :surprised:
Can I suggest to step away from car cleaning... maybe suggest paint stripper in your next bucket of suds

As above :scared:.There are plenty of ''proper'' wheel cleaners on the market that you can use with the safety of not damaging you'r alloys.
