Grotty wheels

Featured Replies

Does any body else suffer from seriously grotty wheels on their Fabias. I have given mine a good clean and within a couple of days the brake dust is all over them again. And its not as if they are the easiest of wheels to clean. I have never had so much trouble on alloys before, are the furbys pads particularly soft or what? This is my only gripe so far :(

I get the same. A weekly cleaning is the only answer I've found.

Your brake pads are wearing...close to changing them I think.

Mine get grotty within a few short drives. :grumpy: But then Pagid FR pads are a wee bit dusty.

My Karscher Pressure washer does it for me. All gone in seconds. If you wax the alloys, the dirt is just blown away !!

Cheers guys, new pads fitted along with discs prior to purchase. Pressure washer seems a worthy idea

use bicarbonate of soda with water, it washed of with ease, cheap and effective.

Yep, I find waxing them makes a big difference as well...

Green Stuff pads, never ever get brake dust, haven't cleaned my alloys in about 3 weeks
