finally got to washing my truck, spent sometime wiping this orange residue off the truck, anyway, i cant seem to clean one of my rims, the brake dust is pretty much like painted on the rim, ive tried simple green and citrus cleaner for rims w/ a pressure washer... anyone have any ideas?... i was thinking brake cleaner

 

laquer thinner, or something like that. Always helped me with tough stuff.

 

I always use engine degreaser. but brake clean would work fine. mine always get like that if i dont clean them in a while

 

dont get laquer on ur tires... that isnt a good thing

 

im gonna use brake cleaner, and if that doesnt work then il wet sand the areas with the really rough spots of dust, cause it feels like sandpaper itself

 

wonder what kinda brake pads ya have...get ceramic next time! lol

 

im still on the factory pair, im pretty sure the dust baked onto the rims cause recently the pads finally wore down and just they have been squealing like a bitch.. my past experiences with ceramic was horrible, i do alot of highway miles and i cant afford to replace these things almost every year at the most, i bought factory again... hell 61,000 miles... im not complaining plus its personal taste, never had trouble with these brakes... yea they say ceramic creates less dust but ive only seen equal or more dust, im not towing anything heavy or nothing hardcore performance wise to require better braking power... i only have a FIPK or WAI ...

 

ah ther is ur problem...
