DIY Tips: Wheel Cleaning

Severe Brake Dust on our BMW X3MC's...

Here's how I took care of them on this wash... (I'm always testing and trying out new products to cut time on cleaning)

Products Used
Aenso Revolve Tire Cleaner
Aenso Isern Wheel Cleaner
Aenso Orbit Tire Dressing
Wheel Woolies Wheel Brush
Detail Factory Tire Brush
Detail Factory Wheel Brush Kit (great for inner wheel barrel)

Super Bad Brake Dust







The brake dust was so bad that I had to repeat the cleaning process a couple of times.

That's extremely extreme for brake dust.

Either you tracked it an incredible amount or you haven't washed it in 2 years.

Wow. I'm more interested in what caused the ridiculous amount of brake dust to congregate there.

Anyway, nice write up on products. Was the wheel(s) coated with anything, or bone stock with no protective coating?

Lots of family trips this summer, about 1000 miles of brake dust I would say.

Wheels are coated, a little easier to clean but still required a lot of work to clean them.

Did you hire a 2nd grader to lay down on the brake pedal every trip?
