Re: Mercedes C 230 white

I've noticed that german cars do have a lot of brake dust. You will see that much from one week of daily driving. It usually isn't hard to remove, and when it becomes hard, that's where I use P21S gel wheel cleaner.

Re: Mercedes C 230 white

Switching to ceramic brake pads usually takes care of a lot of the normal build-up, but unfortunately I have yet to find any for the 560SL. The owner of that C230 should be put on probation!
