Can you get your rims to STAY clean!!!
 
Ok....here is my problem...

I can get my rims really clean and lookin really really great. But as soon as im out drivin for like an hour or so there is already a GODD amount of brake dust there. Which is normal (but sucks)... is there anything out there that like repels brake dust so your rims can stay cleaner longer??????

Just a question i was thinking about.

Didnt know if anyone noticed this to but i just thought that i would throw it out there and see what you guys thought

Nope, just keep washing em :)

Do you brake hard? or hold down the brake for a long time? Cause that adds more brake dust (ibelieve)

I was my rims once a week

Hahaha....no i dont brake hard....i actually dont brake very often!! HAHA!... i hafta wash my rims alot to...oh well...i guess its just one of those things??...and especially because mine are like the same silver as my car you can just see it more i guess?

But hey if anyone else has anythin on this keep the posts comin

yea i can nevr keep mine clean but imma do something my uncle showed me.. he waxes his rims on his z06 like the car and they stay clean for some time b/c nothing attaches to them..

use ceramic pads... makes little to no brake dust...

the normal pads semi-metalic/organic produce TONS of brake dust.. even if u do minimal braking...

Nas23 05-11-2004 11:19 PM

i think im gunna try and wax them and see wat happens i guess??...lol...it pisses me off though how they dont stay clean!

dezod had a group buy going for some nice brake pads (aem, ebc, hawk). I dont know if its still going on or not, but if you get those pads, they should produce little to no dust, therefore, your rims stay clean. If your tired of cleaning them all the time, I suggest you do that. Im gonna do it myself, just gonna save some $.
