    I have seen some really badly braked on brake dust, but today I think I saw the worst baked on brake dust I`ve ever seen.

    WOW! What did you use to clean them. I need something like that to do my daughter`s car. Very nice job. How long did it take you?

    Holy ****, I mean "Cow" :bigscream

    Those were white? I was expecting shiny chrome...and then BAM!
    Do you have to treat the painted rims more delicately than clearcoated or chromed, etc...? Do anything special?

    Very nice transformation. Hopefully the customer will give you a call BEFORE they get that bad again.
    Don`t cry honey. I wasn`t polishing the car again. I swear! :naughty

    Brake Dust...

    I started with (2) different non-acid cleaners with the stonger being AM`s Magnificent... Not a dent in the dust even at full strength !!!

    So... Broke out the chemical resistant rubber gloves/goggles and AM`s Spoke...

    MUST USE WATER !!! Do not let this sit on wheel at full strength !!! Spray on agitate with wheel brush then rinse ... repeat, repeat, repeat until the dust is gone...

    The truck was buffed with Meg`s Speed Glaze then Menzerna Final Polish. UPP topped with AM`s EZ Paste.

    :nono Dean, those results are only mediocre. I could have easily gone out and bought new wheels just as you did.

    HAHA, those look fantastic. What a dramatic turn around on that. :wait
    Ahhhhh, single stage black, what a beauty!! :wow

    Nice work Clean Dean, You really got hooked on that Menzerna FP after I told you about it huh. They have a FPII now.

    Never the Less great results how are the other non-acid cleaners from AM. ?
