Front Brake dust

Spooler · 07-10-2014, 06:52 PM

I just wash them by hand with soap and water. Every 15k or so I will pull the wheel and was the backsides. OCD at it's best.
Years ago, one of my girlfriends called me Mr. Clean...LOL Not because I had a bald head either.

I run Hawk HPS and have been for years on a few cars. They have little to no dust.

No dust! Nice. My Carbotech pads leave the wheels another color.

Here's my wheel cleaning bucket. 5 brushes total. OCD... I know. I should see a doctor about this.

Hell even your buckets look clean. Everything will be OK... Forget the therapist....

Its very easy to clean your "Sport or Nismo Wheels" on the car. The 19' allows for a hand w/micro fiber towel to clean inside the barrel. I hand wash 3 times a week and with every wash comes 15 more minutes of rim cleaning time to ensure wheels stay fresh and clean from brake dust inside and out. I've had good luck with OEM pads.

I have a gallon of Simple Green too!

marty31 · 07-11-2014, 11:48 AM

Simple Green....definitely.

Wow, and I thought I was a little over the top washing my car by hand every two weeks. Clearly I have much to learn about how to be OCD and AR about Z sanitation needs.
