Cleaning tips for Msport brakes???

blackheva · 08-21-2020, 08:41 PM

Every time I wash my car. It drives me crazy I can't get the brake calipers on my M340i completely clean. I have the 790m wheels and there's just not enough clearance to get all the brake dust off. Does anyone have any tips or products they recommend? TIA!

Get them ceramic coated!

I clean them with the alloy cleaner when cleaning the wheels. Agree ceramic coating would be better but haven’t done that yet.....

How is it not practical? You'll spend more in cleaning products trying to keep them clean vs spending $150-200 to get them ceramic coated. Not to mention they will look so much better/cleaner for longer.

Haha, I guess practical wasn't the best term. I meant a more immediate, free solution. I probably will get them ceramic coated eventually, but I was washing the car yesterday.😁

I just use jetwasher and alloy wheel spray and a wheel brush. Comes up spotless.

Hardest bit is cleaning the inside of the alloys at the front as you can’t get your hand in without moving the car!

Yes definitely a VERY good clean/decontamination before ceramic coating

Wheel woolies can help you get behind the wheel spokes. But you also will need to move the car a bit and clean the spots you missed. It's impossible to get them perfectly clean without either moving the wheels or removing the wheels.

Spray on, let dwell, agitate, rinse off, repeat as needed. The dirtier the wheels, the more effort is needed to clean
