    Rotor Rust and Cleaning Between Washes

    in Wheels, Tires, Trim, & Undercarriage

    Posted

    Hello.  The Brembo brakes on my WRX STI love to make a rusty/dusty mess all over my wheels upon driving the car after a wash.  It really deters from the rest of my shinny car because the wheels instantly look like a mess.  Since the car is not my daily, what does everyone recommend for cleaning off the rust dust and brake dust from the wheels in between washes?  Rinseless wash or spray down with waterless wash and wipe down?  Obviously whichever process I use the microfiber towels would then become dedicated wheel towels after.  

     

    Well theres your problem^ =p

    Washing tips if you don't live in a shady area?

    Good idea about the parking garage, but there aren't any near by and i fear most of the truck will try by the time I get there.  There is a park near by that may offer some shade if i can find a parking spot.  Maybe I pull up there and detail there.  I just hope it doesn't have trees with crap that falls off of them.

     

    If you find one that works well let us know the brand/price.  I've yet to find one within reason.

    Good luck with your new toys! Everything I've read on the SK indicates it's an awesome machine. And I think the orange Sidekicks are gone...honestly, I think I got one of, if not the, last one (disappeared off the site around the exact time mine was ordered, sorry!)...but you can always call the HQ to see if one is laying around the warehouse.

     

    And you're welcome!

    I'll trade ya ????

    Didn't you already say you'd get one?! ;)

     

    Yes, I guess you could dry the car, but it's not the recommended purpose (meant more for cracks, crevices and tires). If trying the whole car is what you're after, I think many on here would instead recommend either the Air Force or Master Blaster. For me, I have the GWT and new plush towel (just got it, though, so haven't tried it yet), and the Sidekick. That combo works perfectly for me.

    ^^^^^^^

     

    And thanks for the response. ????
