Crystal Grey STi - brake fallout up the sides...
I've been putting this off for ages but I really need to deal with it.
The sides of the STi are covered in brake pad fallout- which is going orangey as the metallic bits from the pad rust.
Whats best for this? Will some type of TFR remove it, or what grade of clay should I try?
Thanks muchly

Aye, clay is the solution, but you'll probably need one with a fair amount of bite, as brake dust particulates are often hard to shift. I'd suggest the Gloss It Mild Clay Bar using Gloss It Gloss Enhancer as the lubricant, as this clay is a lot stronger than other mild clays (without being daft), and the lubricant is super slick, so will help to minimise marring. After claying, I'd suggest a quick hand polish with Menzerna 203S applied using a Lake Country German CCS Light Cut Pad before reapplying wax/sealant protection.
