Default Brake dust stuck...

The weather here has been pretty shotty but i was happy to get my summers back on but i haven't got around to cleaning them like i should.

Last wash the dust on the was pretty bad and i couldnt get it all off. This time it looks worse.

So question being...What is the best way to get it off? What brushes are recommend? Would using the scrubby side of a sponge be alright?

Sorry for the weak question but the search is farked. Thanks for any input.

Default If it's really stuck, I'd "waste" a clay bar on the wheels

"Waste" because after a set of wheels, the clay bar would almost certainly be done.

Default Call Nick at Detailer's Paradise and ask for the 4-star product.

I used it for the first time last weekend and was amazed. Normally, once a year I'll take a Porter-Cable buffer to my wheels with polish to get all the winter nasty off of them. Before this weekend it was the only thing that worked. This 4-star stuff is quality.
