Wheels Cleaning

[mis3]

I washed my car last Saturday and it has not rained here since. Because I dusted (California Duster) the car almost everyday, it is still shinning clean after a whole week.
Unfortunately, cannot say the same for my wheels, especially my front wheels. I drive a Mercedes and it is notorious for brake dust.

So, I just washed the wheels (wheels only) and I will apply UQW to the whole car later.

Wish they will come out with a product which can "repel" the brake dust...

Or you could get brake pads that don't dust as much. I know this is kinda off-topic but the factory pads on my car are aggressive(read:dusty). I switched out to something a little more " street-able". Less noise and less dust but if performance is your thing, you will lose some initial bite and they will fade quickly when pushed hard. It's a trade off I made willingly and my back thanks me for it lol.

I always service my car in the dealership and they use only OE parts.
MB brake pads are actually very good but "aggressive".

I wax my wheels regularly with NXT but they don't last too long because of the high temperature.

In fact, Meguiar's make a quick detailer for wheels.

Another company makes such a product. Not that I condone the use of non-Meguiar's products.
