Clean Rims/Brake Dust Cover

A buddy showed me this stuff the other day, wondering if it could be used and if anybody has used it.

BLUEMAGIC metal polish cream

RP what do you use on your rims?

That question is open for everybody.

Thanks

Also I heard from Kleen wheels, they said they had ordered the KR rim and we should see something in January.

Elbow grease is my number one choice for wheel care.

I've yet to find a product that doesn't require me to go back down to my wheels and wash them a second time... this includes every common brand known to man (Meguiar's, Mothers, etc... etc...).

So, my philosophy is to not even bother with those chemicals...

As for Kleen Wheels, I have considered doing this as well... The brake dust is UNBELIEVABLE on this new truck. So bad that I've considered jumping over to ceramic pads.

I have Ford branded ceramic pads on my truck. They were on there when I bought it, don't know if they are original or not. I can tell you that the braking is not as good as other pads. It requires much more pedal pressure and I have not yet been able to stop hard enough to engage the antilock feature. With a trailer it can be scary.
Not trying to scare anyone off of ceramic pads, just pointing out one of the costs so you can make an informed decision. Braking will not be as good with ceramic.
