My buddy just bought his daughter a 2011 Acura MDX. Great car, the paint overall was in pretty good shape despite being parked less that a block from the beach for the last 6 years. I did the entire exterior with my Rupes 21 and Rupes UHS pads and product. I followed up with Chemical Guys Better Butter Wax, it goes on easy and it was getting late and it was easy to reach, not to mention it shines nicely. The paint looked great this morning when I had a chance to check it out in the sun.

When I was cleaning the wheels, I used some Chemical Guys wheel cleaner. The wheels looked better, but still had some brake dust staining in the corners and nooks and crannies. I let the product dwell for about five minutes and then scrubbed the surface with a medium brush. Any ideas for deeper cleaning without damaging the wheel surface? Thanks for any thoughts. Phil

I will take some photos when I get home. It looks like coffee stains in the corners of the details on the wheels. Phil

I"d try an iron remover like Iron-X or perhaps one of the color changing wheel cleaners that contains iron removers.

Sonax full effect wheel cleaner would be my recommended product.
