I noticed I couldn't get the dust off my brake calipers because they had embedded into it. I bought castrol's purple spray bottle called 'all wheel cleaner' which melted all the brake dust off, rims, pads, rotors, everything, almost instantly. Then spray off with water.

I also put zaino on the inside of my rims, that keeps things down too.


I bought a $70 (non-gas) leaf blower that has a 220 mph strenth from walmart. I use that to blow off the water from the car after I wash. It clears all the water from the lug nut area on my aftermarket rims, blows water out from the inside of the side view mirrors, out of the side air vent area / strakes, from the honey comb mesh things on the front and rear of the car. I just use it to get off most of the water, then use one micro fiber towel to wipe up anything i missed.
