I find Sonax doesn't work too well on baked dust and road tar.

U guys are trying to fix the problem, to prevented in the 1st place, u should polish and seal your wheels before u drive it . It will protected for at least 6 months and do it again less dust and road tar will stick to it and easier to clean

Yup, I take my wheels off once a year and spend 3 hours on them alone.

I guess this was just an isolated incident or maybe a bad batch of rotors?

Sorry guys. My teaser is taking too long I know. I have dinner plans tonight so I'll have them on first thing in the morning and after a quick detail to knock the track dirt off the F I'll post pictures.

You didn't tell us you were adding a lift to the F as well? I like it!
