Likewise, what causes excessive brake dust on rims? When your brake pads heat up, their metallic particles get a static charge as they wear off the surface of the pad. That's how the dark, metallic dust sticks to the wheels, both steel and alloy, as well as other parts of your vehicle. Brake dust is also caused by brake rotors containing cast iron.
Thereof, how do you clean brake dust off of rims?
Use the soft bristle wheel brush to gently clean off the brake dust and dirt from the face of the rims. Use the detailing brush to clean the valve, lug nuts and anywhere you may have missed with the other brushes. Use the wash mitt to clean behind the spokes of the rims. Use the big wheel brush to rub the wheel wells.
Does brake dust mean I need new brakes?
A by-product of brakes under normal operation, brake dust is a mixture of metallic particles that wear off the surface of the pad. As the pads wear out, the amount of dust they give off will decrease. Noticing cleaner-looking wheels is often a sign brake pads need replacement.
