cleaning baked on brake dust?

hokie81 · 01-26-2004, 11:06 PM

Hi all - Shame on me... I let my car (2001 323cic) go unwashed for a while and now when I (finally) washed it, I have some baked on brake dust (presumably) on my alumimum front wheels. Being as how I screwed this up on an earlier car trying to clean this off, I thought I'd solicit advice from this forum about how maybe to clean this off. The spots aren't major yet - maybe 1cm x .5 cm or so in a few places. Would appreciate any advice. (Please don't report me to the Bad Owners List or anything

). Chris

I have done the same thing. The Westleys idea is a good one. Next time you need to change your pads, try Rofren disc brakes. They have by far the best pads for your BMW, they have very low dust and top performance. Try www.eurobraketech.com to obtain, I know their new website is not out yet, but you can call to get info and pads.
