A dirty 5 series with "black" wheels

Is there an effective product that will repel the dust or do they just need to be cleaned often? What do ya'all use? Everything I have tried is short lived.

Do you seal them or wax them? If they are cleared, like many new factory wheels, they can be treated like paint. Then the cleaning time is shortened, albiet still necessary.

Ya, I have sealed and waxed. And cleaning is eaier, like you said. Just curious if anyone has found the golden ticket on repelling dust. I haven't.


Boo Hoo

Great job on the car. As a BMW owner, I just don't get it why you would have a car like that and let get in that condition. Beautiful job, and KUDOS to Flash fpr the Royal Brown:Dancing Dot:

Nice, I have a gallon of the brown royal I havent tried yet. Did you use it straight or did you cut it?

I used it straight because how heavy the dust was

So far it has done a nice job with the wheels on my wife's Envoy but the Envoy does not put off that much brake dust
 
I guess I'll mirror what everyone else has said... GREAT job on those wheels!:thumbup:
That's some serious brake dust accumulation to deal with.

Note to self: "Must get the Brown Royal." That stuff's the bomb!:biggrin:
 
Great work!

Did you have to agitate the wheel cleaner or just use a pressure washer to blast them clean?

I find that on exremely dirty cleared wheels, Megs wheel brightner will get the job done as well. Is it correct that Brown Royal can be used on any wheels finish?

the Brown Royal did about 90% of the work on its own and I used a brush to get the rest of it off. I had some WB as a back up. Brown Royal claims that it is safe on all wheels. If it does not harm German wheels I would say I agree with that.

thanks again
 
great work. recently ordered some brown royal. can't wait to try it out! owners of that bimmer must've left a hefty tip. i know i would've if i had a car restored from that condition lol
