Brake pad dust is possible to clean with WD 40. No easy but safe for rotors.

We'll continue to my progress.
Used the ferris do do juice and have to say was mighty impressed also, my wheels was quite dirty with at least 2 months of dirt and dust, sprayed on dry and after 5 min, rinsed off and were good as gold, nice smell too so not too corrosive.
I'd class do do juice next to the bilt hamber which is number 1 for me ATM.

Next is the Merlin's blood, then auto finesse etc.

As per thread, yes I haven't done it properly as suggested on here and I'm not protecting wheels etc, just old skool wait till dirty and clean with less possible effort and see which ones for me.

Bought some auto finesse wheel cleaner and iron x as part of a sale on eBay for 18 quid a wee while ago. Gave it a try today. Very impressed with the results. Wheel cleaner first and agitated. Followed by iron out. Quick agitation and impressed
Wheels were not excessively dirty but had plenty of metal contamination and brake pad dustName:  20170221_104454_zpswkgqrhzo.jpg

Lol, use bilt hamber I think it's slightly cheaper at £15 a bottle, think dodo juice is about £16/£17. And I class bilt at the top along side dodo.

I use £1 multi-surface cleaners. Great on your work surface or your a@se on a bog seat and just as good on your precious car wheels.

The best brush so far for me is a Curver dust-pan brush. Problem is the bristles could do with being a bit stiffer and longer to reach into the corners. Despite this it's still better and more durable than all the dedicated alloy wheel brushes I've tried thus far!


WHEEL WOOLIES are the best wheel brushes that I have ever used,their not cheap but the quality and durability of them are superb I have had my set for over three years now and they are still in good condition.SJ.

I used the do do juice again yesterday and the car hasn't had a wash since early December so the wheels were very dirty.
I like how thick the liquid is, makes it stay on for longer instead of dripping downwards so sticks to wheels better to actually work better.
Impressive

I’ve always used Merlins blood from car spa uk. It works really well
