Default Brake Dust

I have a touring 6mt with the 18" rims...is there any way to keep the clean looking for more than 2 days without having to wash them every 2 days...any tricks of the trade? thanks

Sure, first, polish your wheels..then..get a "California Duster".

It picks up stuff like brake dust. You can find it by going to the "Google" search engine and enter "California Duster". Make sure you shake it well before each use...it does get better w/ each use though!

I use that duster every day to keep my wheels looking good!

Be well

I can also vouch for the California Car Duster...the dirtier it gets, the better it works, go figure!

one important note if you use the duster on your wheels DONT use it on the cars finish or you will scratch it.
buy a seperate one just for the car.

The wheels are painted and metal polishing isnt gonna do anyhing but hurt the painted finish.
