^^ Have you waxed your wheels?

It's been my experience that much of the brake dust will rinse/wipe off, but there's always those stubborn spots that I can't get to budge. Well... *couldn't*, until Simple Green. If you've done nothing to your wheels and your brake dust just glides right off then I must say I'm envious

One thing about simple green you should all be aware of. We stopped using it to clean aircraft in the US AIR FORCE at Langley for one reason... they found it to be fairly carcinogenic (I'm sure I spelt that wrong) .... Cancer causing.. yeah, that's it! Doesn't it suck all the best stuff is actually the worst?? I'm a Zaino guy all the way... very easy to use, wettest, sweetest, deepest finish you'll ever see.

^^Oooh! Just got my Zaino products the other day. Now have 2 coats of polish and their tire/plastic dressing and I cannot believe how amazingly, utterly, unbelievably gorgeous my car is.

That said, I'll be sure to take a good bath after using my Simple Green. Thanks for the heads up :smile:

wait 'til you have 10+ coats on. You won't believe the depth and clarity!!!! based on your initial experience, it won't be long until you get to the 10th coat

>>^^ Well, I've never used a wheel cleaner that worked as well, so it's pretty special to me for that reason... but I think the greatest thing is that, in addition to working perfectly, it's also non-toxic and biodegradable.

full strength on the wheels. dilute everywhere else 50/50. i tried using diluted simple green on the wheels and it was not cutting through the brake dust.
