got the axis mods. polished lip with hypersilver rim. what is safe to use to clean off brake dust? just been using a rag now to clean off dust and brake dust. what can you use on the lip, and on the rim? metal polish on the lip? any help would be appreciated.

 

Use your car wash soap/water and a rag on your wheels. This is the safest thing for the finish and will cause the least amount of scratches. Im assuming your lips are clear coated in which case you can treat them just as you would your paint. Be VERY careful when washing the lip that no small pebbles get under your washrag or whatever you end up using to clean it. You will get some nice long scratches and will be kicking yourself for days.

You may want to put a coat of your favorite car wax/polish on the lip also. It will help protect it, make it easier to clean in the future, and of course give it a nice blinging shine!

 

thanks! just use a cloth in between washes to get off brake dust and normal dust?

 

Between washes? You will want to be careful when brushing off brake dust so you dont scratch your wheels up. Another member said he sucessfully was able to brush off the dust between washes with a swiffer (sp?) without scratching the wheels. I personally have not tried this.

Your best bet is to probably replace your brake pads with a low dust pad. Its a losing battle trying to clean off the dust that the stock pads produce. My Hawk HPS pads are sitting downstairs and waiting to be installed You can pick some up at tirerack.com

 

Go with Hawk for less dust!!!
Its a no brainer and extremely easy to install!!!!
Do it for aftermarket rims!!!!
