Product Suggestions for Wheel Cleaning

Severe Brake Dust on our BMW X3MC's...

Here's how I took care of them on this wash... (I'm always testing and trying out new products to cut time on cleaning)

Products Used
Aenso Revolve Tire Cleaner
Aenso Isern Wheel Cleaner
Aenso Orbit Tire Dressing
Wheel Woolies Wheel Brush
Detail Factory Tire Brush
Detail Factory Wheel Brush Kit (great for inner wheel barrel)

Super Bad Brake Dust







The brake dust was so bad that I had to repeat the cleaning process a couple of times.

Another option is Griots Heavy Duty wheel cleaner. It also reacts with iron brake dust (turning purple) to "confirm" it is really working.

Is there any damage to the disc brake or pads using wheel cleaners?

I would imagine they are all developed not to cause any damage. I think the only time you have to be careful with the products is if you've got carbon discs.
