[QUOTE="einehund, post: 16444456, member: 67302"] Anyone else use this? For the first car show of the year last week, I had pulled the wheels off the Shelby for a deep cleaning of each recess and to get the barrels nice a new looking. I used the black magic no scrub wheel cleaner, but after letting it sit a minute, i used a wheel brush to agitate the brake dust. The wheels turned out nearly perfect. The car show was at a detail garage which specializes in Chemical Guy's products, so I figured I'd go ahead and try some of their products. I asked what they recommended for a soap that was safe for the ceramic coat on the Shelby, and a wheel cleaner that will break down brake dust (as the EBC pads dust quite a bit) but be safe for powdercoating (as both the Shelby and the FoST have powdercoated wheels). They recommended Hydro Suds ceramic car wash soap and sticky citrus gel wheel cleaner. I haven't tried the wash yet, but today i pulled the wheels off the FoST and did the same process with the Chemical Guy's citrus cleaner as I did the Black Magic wheel cleaner. The face of the wheel came out okay - pretty similar for both products, but the barrel of the wheel is NOTICEABLY not as clean with the citrus cleaner than with the black magic. The best cleaner I've used is by Meguiars but i had bought that in Germany and I don't know what the product was. What does the collective recommend for powdercoated wheels that will dissolve brake dust with minimal effort in scrubbing. I'm not as concerned with the scrubbing as I am with making ALL the brake dust disappear and the wheels look new. [/QUOTE]
