What to Do When Wheel Cleaner Doesn’t Remove Brake Dust

When you clean your wheels, be sure to use a wheel cleaner that specifically contains brake dust. Some cleaners that are marketed as “all-purpose” cleaners are not effective at removing brake dust, and may even cause damage to your wheels.

Brake dust buildup can prevent your brakes from working properly.

If you’re experiencing problems with your brakes, it’s important to clean the dust buildup on the wheel and brake pads as soon as possible. Here are a few tips for cleaning your brakes:

– Use a brake dust remover like Brake Clean & Protect or MaxClarity. These products are designed to remove brake dust and other dirt and debris from your brakes.

– Wet the brake pads and wheel with water before using the cleaner. This will help dissolve the brake dust and make it easier to remove.

– Scrub the brake pad and wheel with the cleaner until the dust is gone. Be sure to use a stiff brush if needed to scrub stubborn spots.

– Rinse off the cleaner and dry the area thoroughly before adding any lubricant or protection.

Remove brake dust using a regular household cleaner or a brake dust removal product.

If you have to clean your brakes after using a wheel cleaner and it doesn’t seem to be removing the brake dust, there are a few things you can do to test the function of your brakes. First, try braking at different speeds. If your brakes feel worn or spongy when you apply pressure, then you need to take your car into a mechanic for a proper cleaning. Second, try using a vacuum cleaner with the hose attachment to clean the brake discs and calipers. Be sure to use caution not to damage the brake pads or rotors. Finally, if none of these methods work, you may need to bring your car in for service.
