please help, I had some brake dust on one rim
 

I really need some help or tips, I have some brake dust on one of my rims, it came from the bottom part of your brake pads when you are almost out, it stuck onto one of my rims, it's only a little bit but it looks like shyt, if anyone has anything i can try please help me.

I tried all that canadian tire wheel cleaning crap, I'm at the stage where i want to steel wool that shyt.

do you have any pictures to see how bad that is???

since when does break dust stick to rims? :confused: should wipe off

I've never seen brake dust get sticky, but maybe try some goo gone. It could be that something got onto your rim and then brake dust covered it up.

this isn't just the normal brake dust, you know when your brake pads are almosts worn out, they start making a noise, well there is a different material that falls on the rims.

yea i know wha u mean..and it turns into small rust spots right?? i had the same thing except i have it all along my whole driver side all the way to the tail lights...dont know what to do. would buffing take it off??

what kinda finish on the wheel?? paint, clearcoat, raw alloy ???

it wont come off your wheels.
you basically melted your rims from the heat produced from the shrapnel type thing that came from the brakes.
ask scott newman he will tell you he ****ed up his front rims like that.

that sucks my rims are done??


maybe i will steel wool that

have them professionally refinished if you can afford it

I GOT ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT


I DID IT GUYS


1. I used a whole bottle of BLACK MAGIC wheel polish from canadian tire. I PUT IT ALL OVER THE RIM and left it there.

2. 4 hrs later the polish was all dry and the rims looked like someone had jeezed all over it. then I got one of those dish washing srcubs the softer kind and just wiped off the brake dust.

IT WORKS LOOKS NEWER THEN BEFORE

I WILL POST SOME PICS LATER

real easy, after I had tried for hours to scrub it and scrub it.

nice. ur lucky in this case that it didnt burn thru the metal.
hope u change ur brakes really soon.

thanks man,

i hope that other person you refered me too can use what i did and get it off, next time my brakes make noise i'm not gonna brake until i hit the auto shop.

it sucks cuz i have 4 sets of disc brakes instead of 2 drum and 2 disc like civics

unfortunately the other person wasnt able to do it.
since the metal shavings were so hot that they melted into the rim and crated pivits:D
