///BHRpowered Posted November 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 200 miles roundtrip, rims were cleaned and wiped down before leaving this morning. now observe the fingerwipe, regardless of mountain braking and extreme high speed braking, brake dust like this is not uncommon with high performance carbon fiber pads. Reasons like this are why wheel cleaner is so important to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

///BHRpowered Posted November 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 indeed, plus the cheaper pads which have metallic additives will actually rust when left untreated, which is why some wheels look so dusting brown, not carbon fiber though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

///BHRpowered Posted December 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 1. I probably did, as its what I use, and it was suggested as the proper cleaner in this thread. the hot rims works well on your chrome, the gold class wheel cleaning is also one of the only ones I know of that is ph balanced, and therefore safe. 2. how often am I in NJ, how often are you in DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
