"New" tool in the battle against brake dust

[andrew b]

Opti Coat or Cquartz the wheels to keep the dust from clinging and embedding. I have opti coat on both my bimmers but you can get a sample size Cquartz here in the store. I'll pick up a swiffer this weekend as that should work well along with the coatings. Good find.

I'm using up about a half bottle of Klasse SG that's been sitting around...it's working great:

Between the Klasse and the swiffer, I'm loving clean-almost-all-the-time wheels. It takes maybe 5 minutes to swiffer all 4 wheels clean.

I'm so glad you shared that special moment with all of us . I will have to remember that next time my boss starts in on me what to use to cool off .

U know me, Adam! Always happy to help a fellow forum member such as yourself out! Glad to help you out!

Wow if they work on brake dust no wonder a baby cries when you try and use them to clean up a mess.We need someone to chime in on how rough baby wipes actually are .

Adam, my a@@ tells me Cottonelles arent rough!

[Old Tiger]

They really don't bother my Roids when wiping! So I would say fairly gentle!

I didnt see this before I posted. Very well said Jim! Guess this is another thing we share in common!

Knowing this, my day is now complete and I can sleep tonight.....

i have used this same process for several weeks and was going to do a similiar post. you can also use the swiffer on paint surfaces with absolutely no micro marring. this is especially effective in tight cramped areas where a ca duster cant reach. i can only clean two wheels per buffer even after rotating the buffer though. the refills about 20 i think are dirt cheap at costco etc. they are also great on interiors. nice post brother. shows you dont have to spend mucho $ to get a job done.

I've gotten marring from cleaning brake dust while using a QD/ONR and microfiber. IMO there is no safe way to clean brake dust without lots of water. While you won't get full on swirls you will dull the finish of the wheels after repeated long term use.

The brake dust repellents do work and improve things quite a bit, but I finally won the battle when I upgrade to Akebono pads. No more issues and the wheels stay clean for a long time.

sorry to push myself.. but quick spraying ironx will solve your problems, fast and easy.. without touch even.

Thanks for posting. I'm sold as I hate the dust that accumulates when I drive with windows open.

Adam, at least now you know where your boss' head's been at!!
