Default 9 days straight

Last Wednesday I spent 6.5 hours washing, waxing and detailing my truck and it has rained everyday since. You gotta love Missouri this time of year. BTW anyone know how to fix the problem of ridiculous amounts of brake dust building up on my front wheels? I never had a vehicle that created such a mess after one or two days of driving, and no it's not my driving/braking habits. I baby my truck and the only way I can keep the front wheels clean is to wash them every-single-f*ing-day.

they make brake dust shield for all type of vechicle. may want to invest in a set about 20.00pull of frt tire and they mount right onto the wheel studs and put tire back on. they are slotted to let air in removing the dust

I really hate rain, and brake dust...

Brake dust DEFINITELY more than rain, ask Eric, he knows what the wheels look like with the brake dust on them....

I may have to look into that dust shield. But don't those hide the rotors when you're looking at the wheel?
