Default Brake dust X Rated

I had a BMW SUV today and when I took a look at the wheels I knew I was in trouble. After attempting to clean them on the car, I decided to remove one wheel at a time. As you can see in the before pic, it was nasty. The only way to really get deep dish wheels clean to my standards, was to remove the wheels.

OK, I can see really wanting the back side of the wheels clean because you can see that area a bit through the wheel openings, but dressing the back side of the tire??? You're a crazy man, Gary, a crazy man!!

I admire that.

I use a high alkaline wheel cleaner from a professional supply company,it literally melts brake dust off the wheel. Two applications and that's what you get. Yes, if you guys want some let me know when you order, I fix you up. gary

I dunno - that wheel weight looks kinda dirty, and the "dimples" in the wheel still have some dust..... [:X]
