need a local store product to remove brake dust ASAP

[sushi]

I'm detailing a BMW with stubborn brake dust. It sucks and I am ordering Iron X. Sonax, mothers, meguiars apc are not working. I'm in a pinch and the car has to be ready tomorrow. I need something today.


anyone know of something availabe in stores that works at dissolving baked brake dust such as Iron X? I have all the chain stores around like az, aap, pep boys, Sherwin Williams, lowes, hd, etc... Much obliged

My suggestion would be Zep purple degreaser at 4:1. Available at Home Depot, Lowes, etc.

Try Claying also.

Meguiars new all wheel cleaner and follow it with clay if need be. Should take care of the wheels unless they are destroyed

I did see Meg's wheel brightener locally at sherwin Williams but I'm concerned about its acidity.

Mequiars wheel cleaner in the pink container - Auto Zone but cheaper at Wal mart.

See my post "Wheels still not clean"
I too tried all of the sprays on the market.
I headed the advice on the forum of using clay and it quickly solved the problem...

Meg's Foaming All Wheel and Tire Cleaner (not brightener) is nearly equal to Sonax for 1/3 the cost. Spray it on dry wheels, let it sit for 5 mins, agitate, and rinse. Does a great job on the tires, too. If they're really bad, you may need to repeat ( it took me 4 apps of Sonax and 1 of Meg's to clean some neglected i30 wheels).

Meg's Chrome Wheel Cleaner will blow that brake dust right off. But, its corrosive so you would have to be super careful with it, and I would only let it dwell a few seconds... I would use clay first though, thats safer and should do it, just may take more time.
Recently, I tried several products
To clean my rotor hats and nothing worked at getting the brake dust off except the Meg's. Check out the pics:
