Black wheels ⚫️🚗 and the maintenance needed to keep them looking fresh…. The first picture was the before pic. The second picture was after they were cleaned. If you pause the second picture and look deep into the hub, the brake dust/rust is caked on. Out of respect for the driveway and the owner, we did not use strong chemicals to get the deeper brake dust which then turned to rust. Even if the car was pulled into the street and we used those chemicals along w/ our long brush , it would not be completely removed. The proper way to handle this is to jack up the car and pull the wheels off to individually clean up to the point the dust /rust cant be cleaned and then the rest would need to be clayed or wet sanded off. In reference to maintaining these wheels… whether the wheels are gloss finished or matte/satin(hardest to keep clean), every wheel should be deep cleaned every month especially if they are paired with performance brakes and if the wheels are black. We’ve highlighted a few AMG Mercedes models with this problem and even Porsche has the same issues. The brake pads produce alot of dust and especially on black, they will cake on and rust if not maintained. Try to rinse deep in the wheels once a week.
