you want to clean them really good and then put carnauba wax on them on me then the break dust will rinse off

 

i used to have problems... now i just spray eagle 1, let it sit for under a minute then hose off. if it's really bad, i have this really great brush i bought from target... its part bristle and part abrasive sponge. does a great job.

the eagle 1 is good for general maintenance... about 10 minutes once a week

 

waxing your rims makes cleaning them much much easier. dust and grime dont stick near as easily. and double coating works even that much better.

 

what about caliper covers?
