Again, I'm not sure, but I do agree that P21S works great, plus it's water based and won't damage the wheel coating.

I've been using it since day one on my STi wheels, nothing else touches these wheels.

Im going to have to pick me up some of that P215, it looks really good.

hey peleg question for you. I am having the problem stated above. I have had brake dust harden in the cornors. I used eagle one wheel cleaner with no luck. I am thinking the easy off would work for just that one time and then from there on out use some thing else. Need some input.

Wash and clean the wheels, then get a clay bar and clay detailing spray, this stuff should come right off.

PM me for product recommandations.

i just use a rag. everything comes off, no problems. people always ask how i keep them so clean. seriously all i do is wipe them off once in awhile with a rag,no products (they are dirty in the sig btw)

That would work:

1. On the outer part of the wheel.

2. If you clean them often, if you don't, it's harder to get the dust off, especially if it adheres to the wheel finish.

3. There are some conteminents that you won't be able to see, but if you use a clay bar, detailing spray and do it the right way, it will take off alot of things not visible to the naked eye.

My 002 cents.

ok guys this is going to sound weird

i did this on my gti when i had the crap building up on my wheels at the corner of the rim and the spokes.

Tooth paste, yes tooth paste, its a light abrasive compound that does a great job getting the braked one s**t off the rims. i recomend you use a tooth brush to get in the corners. another benifit is that it will leave you wheels feeling minty fresh

Tooth paste.. huh. Has anyone else tried this?

Haven't tried it yet.

I use it to clean my calipers, but never had to use it on my wheels...

[munky69]

yeah true. i think the rag only works cuz i do kinda do it often. no more than 2 weeks apart usually

[FleaDog]

HA! oven cleaner! keep doing that and the clear finish on the wheels will be DONE, not to mention the caliper paint!

You DONT need any special cleaner!!! go buy a $100 electric pressure/power washer - turns your hose into a car-wash-like wand but better... it will gently spray-off all dust with just water pressure! And it will do the same to the rest of the car. NO BRAINER PEOPLE.

I have a 6 hp gasoline powered pressure washer and it does not get the wheels 100% clean. I still have to hit them with a rag.

+1, it will get about 80% of the dirt, but that Brembo dust is pretty sturbborn. I use teflon brushes in conjunction with the pressure washer and the P21S and it works quite well.

Stuff works awsome or you could put a nice coat of wheel wax on then you only need a microfiber to rub it off
