Brake Dust

Anyone having a lot of brake rotor dust accumulating on the front wheels. Didn't notice it as much in the cooler weather but really seems to be more prevalent this summer.....Rube

Rube,

I don't clean my Scab like 'abullerm' so I do notice some dust! After a 900 miles trip it looked kind of purple . . . !

I don't think I am gettiong break dust. I could just be hard water spots for me. But even after a good washing. I still have to give the rims a good wipe down to get a merky looking film off the rims. I did find a good product to help me from having to wipe it down. It the Armor All all perpous foam cleaner. I put it on the rims, exhaust and side bars and let it soak for about 1-2 mins then spray it off. Keeps the rims inside and out sparkling clean. Saves me from having to get down on my knees and wip them down.

BTW I use the Mothers mag and alum polish for the nerf bars and rims. The stuff really works great although my Zaino distributor says I sould use their car polish for the chrome and the paint.
