How to Clean Brake Dust on Rims?

[DiJessica]

Brake dust on rims can be cleaned using professional wheel cleaners with a soft brush. Avoid using hard brushes or wire brushes to prevent scratching the rim surface. Clean one rim at a time to prevent the cleaner from solidifying on the rim surface. Here are detailed steps: 1. First, use a high-pressure wash to rinse off mud and dust from the tire, outer rim, and inside the fender. Wipe with a towel to remove loose dirt. 2. Evenly spray aluminum alloy rim cleaner on the rim surface, wait for 2-3 minutes, then gently scrub with a soft brush or sponge to avoid damaging the metal surface. Ensure no areas are missed between the rim blades and spokes. 3. When cleaning aluminum alloy rims, use a neutral cleaner as they have a protective coating. Avoid alkaline cleaners, corrosive solvents, fuel, or strong detergents, as they can damage the protective layer.
