Worst nightmare. Both the front wheels has brake dust baked on already

Is that brake dust? I always thought it was just road grime and tar that got caked on. I take one of those orange-based degreasers/cleaners and hit the spots with a squirt of that stuff and use my finger to rub it clean. It works VERY well...give it a shot!

That's a sign for you to get new after market wheels

Too poor to get new rims but I'll try the orange-based degreasers/cleaners method that vaca222 mention

My Dad's S70 has the same wheels and when neglected the baked on brake dust really pitted the wheels. Get the dust off and put a good polymer sealant on the wheels ASAP. Think about changing the pads too.

Think about changing the pads too.

Thought of it but never took action

Mpauly. Good advice.



Try P21s Gel Wheel Cleaner, leave it on for a while, use a brush to agitate it and then hose of. A resin polish will provide good protection. (Oh! Nice car, Volvo has come a long way)



Hope this helps
