Product for getting rid of brake dust?
 
Evening all,

My PFF's have taken a hammering over the summer with my new K-Sports and Blue stuff pads. I clean the car every week but I can't seem to shift the brake dust that clings to the calipers and rims in places. Can anyone suggest a decent product to shift it?

Bilberry juice, About £12 for a 1L bottle which can be diluted to your requirements, :thumb:

did you leave it on a bit to long ?
my local detailer warned me of this but said if it does dry on spray more bilberry juice on it to get it off:thumb:

I think the acidic stuff is ok for tough jobs but don't leave it on for more than a min or two a quick agitate then a good rinse works for me, have you tried waxing ur wheels to stop break dust sticking as much?

I use bilberry diluted to 10:1 with water and never had any issues . I use minimal water on the rinse process too (don't have a hose)

No never waxed them, getting them refurbed soon so might take the opportunity to do it then.
