How does one clean the difficult black stuff on my car's wheels?

Question

This stuff doesn't react to normal cleaning. Can anyone recommend a method or cleaning product that will help me clean the wheels of my car?

Answer 1

If you have stained the wheels (alum type), you won't get it off. As suggested, 'get a brake tech to check'.
For the future, if it really bothers you, purchase cross-cut drilled rotors and use ceramic pads. BUT they are not cheap. There is, on the market, a cover that goes behind the wheel and over the rotor/caliper that acts as a dust cover. My opinion is they look cheesy, but it's your choice.

Answer 2

That 'black stuff' on your wheels is the residue from the brake pads as they wear.You can pick up a spray can of some 'brake parts cleaner' and this will do the job.You should have your brakes inspected for wear ,especially if this has been going on for a long time and you have not done any brake work on your car recently.

Answer 3

try using brasso and cotton , it will work but will take some time .
