so i just got a set of rims from a friend and i need to know whats is a good OTC product that will break down the caked brake dust off the rims

 

Mr Clean All Purpose Cleaner spray bottle. Spray it on, give it a few minutes, scrub with a rag, and rinse with water.

 

after you scrub off all of the brake dust you should go over it with a normal soap to wash off all of the all purpose cleaner (APC). This is because the APC could damage your wheels if left on.

 

and this will be found in the kitchen section right

 

Go to an auto parts store and get some wheel cleaner

 

which ones are good(works) though...

 

After you clean your wheels, I've used the ArmourAll Wheel Protectant. It seems to work well.

 

this. works like a champ actually. was/am very impressed with it.

 

Yeh, its right beside the dishwasher descaling tablets (where else would you buy car care products) don't forget to pick up some Comet, it makes a great paint cleaner

 

try it first then let me know how long your shine last hahha

 

I would use a PH neutral cleaner. Use per directions, and scrub that shiz with a microfiber.

 

Mothers, meguiars, black magic

 

^ I've heard good things about all those

I tried AutoGlym custom wheel cleaner. Worked like a charm for me, but you need to spray a crapload of it on the wheels. Also, I'd recommend buying a wheel sealant or just wax the wheels when you're done as well so the brake dust doesn't get caked onto the wheels.

 

Mothers all wheel cleaner seems to do a good job. However instead of just spraying on and washing off, I usually take my wheels off one by one to get a good cleaning. I also use Armor All wheel protectant afterwards to make future cleaning easier.
