Brake Dust Cleaning
Sorry, if there is a thread already. How does everyone clean the brake dust off these wonderfully beautiful OEM Wheels. Bought and tried Sonax but its not worth the price. Slightly better then soap and water. Thinking soap and water is the best and best value.
Thanks all.
Thanks all.

If you have an ISF, I think a price disparity of 10, 20, or 30 dollars for a cleaning product doesn't matter considering that you [should] want quality for your car.
Anyway, iron x and sonax work well. You should scrub with soap and water afterwards as well. Application matters: if you were to sprinkle soap on a surface and just shoot water on it, you wouldn't get good results. You are to lather and massage that surface with a viable applicator.

I've used Sonax Wheel Cleaner pretty much since I've had the car. It's a great product, and if you can get beyond the smell, I think it is a pretty darn good product given how deep it penetrates the heavy brake dust on our cars. I typically purchase them in the 5 gal jugs because I know brake dust is all too common, whether on a quick drive or after a track day. Couple this with a really good wheel brush with an extended reach, and it makes cleaning the wheel area a lot faster and safer.

Optimum No Rinse for the weekly washes, Sonax Full Effect for the monthly wash where I get behind the spokes, into the barrels and all

First thing I'd recommend is changign the brake pads.
The OEM brake pads make so much dust it's unbelievable, I've never had brake pads that produce so much dust.
Now with my Project Mu NS400 pads it's much easier to clean.

I wipe my car down every night after I work out. ( havent been to a car wash in more than 4 years) When I finish I just use the damp micrfibers with some of the gloss enhancer to wipe off the wheels. Works beautifully.....almost as beautiful as my car looks.lol
Im into perpetually detailed cars. I take a shower daily so my car gets wiped down daily. Only takes 15 min and I NEVER have to worry about some idiot at the car wash messing up my car or scratching it.
