Bye Bye Baked-on Brake Dust 👋
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 бер 2022
- A seized brake caliper meant this 20 year old wheel had been battered with heavy brake dust and iron fallout and while there was still some super-stubborn stuff left behind, Turtle Wax’s All Wheel Cleaner + Iron Remover did a great job at shifting the vast majority of it!

Yes I know there was still some stubborn crap left in the corners and yes I know you should at least rinse the wheel first to save wasting product but the caliper had seized so the battered old wheels were beyond a straight forward clean and it’s just a quick YT short not intended to be taken too seriously so try not to get your knickers in a twist!
Just a quick question, if a lot of the cleaning products brake down brake bust if you leave it on, how come it doesn't break down your brake pads 🤔...
And you can't say none of it gets onto the pabs
To avoid criticism why didn’t you just do the job properly like this video had intended to be?
Didn’t realise it was beyond cleaning until I committed to cleaning it. Had the footage so thought I’d do a nice edit and post it regardless. 135k views and a fair few new subscribers says I made the right decision.
Maybe I could do a full wheel refurb short in the future.
@Car Cleaning Guru that would be great, if you did about the wheels refurbishment
Where my knickers at?
with liberal application like this, the bottle would last me 1 car
It lasted me the one wheel lol.
@@CarCleaningGuru Not cost effective in the slightest. There was even wheel contamination left after applications. Slipping standards.
Rubbish video
Read the description before getting your knickers in a pointless twist.
@@CarCleaningGuru ha ha ha
@@stevostevo1980 not interesting in the slightest, pissy over nothing, slipping standard, rubbish comment.
That feeling after you clean your wheels and found out you need to repaint it 😂
It's funny how so many people are able to find fault, as it were, yet can't read a video description that would actually make the shown results rather impressive.
I agree. It's one thing to clean a maintained or moderately dirty wheel but a whole other world to reconditioning something as appallingly neglected as the wheel in this vid - especially when using a commercial non-acid based cleaner! (Which btw for my experience and purposes works very well!)
Not to mention getting at the notoriously difficult angles and tight corners of this particular design wheel. Man...some of the criticisms and snarky comments are soooo amateurish...
I love how them youtube detailers use half of the bottle for cleaning one wheel🙈🤣
Yes, because of baked brake dust - understood?🤣
@sefket01 so you're telling me, that for cleaning one car I should spend like 30€ worth of products?🤣🤣🤣
@@crazysrbin88 if you let your brake dust bake into your tires for more then 3 months, yes! I tell you…🤷🏻♂️
@@sefket01 it's not only wheels tho...
They use way too much product for everything🤣🤣
@@crazysrbin88 okay, this can be true. But in this case u need to understand that he needs more product bcs of baked brake dust. This is normal
Absolutely LOVE Turtle 🐢 Wax products… been a long time customer and these new products are incredible and won’t break the bank! 👍
So satisfying :) just started uploading UA-cam shorts. Hopefully a full video soon . Been following you for years on UA-cam. Love your work.
Yeh these are just to keep things ticking over in between the proper vids.
Also Dissolved the break pads right out the calipers….
😂😂😂
Cant fix that nasty kerb rash tho :(
Full refurb needed 😫

Man, looking at that makes me glad that on my personal ride I work the wheels every wash and coat them regularly...ooof
I know. If my wheels became corroded like that I would eat at my soul.
That's pretty impressive. Currently there is caked on brake dust on my front two wheels. Im going to try the degreaser with card scrape method
You inspired me to search for a car detailing job myself and i can definitely say brake dust this bad is annoying to get off at home but the brake dust eating acid we have at work gets the job done so easily with a sponge and brushes, helpful on work vans but their wheels are often so far gone with blistering and surface rust. No fancy colours, just green to brown :p
It's quite amazing what Hyper Solutions has been doing for car detailing. It's satifying to see all that brake dust come off those wheels👌
i like using baby wipes on my wheels. They are dirt cheap and brake dust just comes of with a light wipe, even if it has been on the wheels for years. Just makes you wonder what is in these wipes and how healthy they are for the baby's bottom...
Get P&S Brake Buster. You can dilute 5:1.
Rest assured everyone, The Car Cleaning Guru did not leave the bits of dust in the corners. Everything he details is to a level the average person is not used to seeing.
I guess nobody checks the description on shorts 🤷♂️
Unless I’m blind pretty sure there’s still some brake dust there !!
Always use a degreaser first then rinse! Then application of iron fall out to be used for great results
CCG always brings the brush game to another level. Love it.
Looks like you ran over a blueberry man at first haha
Looks like a murder scene after the first application
Yes I thought the same thing XD
Top Job.
when I had a major brakedust issue, 3-4 years of neglect, I used 30% HCl acid, but I wish I haven't, it was very effective at cleaning but even though I was working in open field and standing as far as possible it created clouds of toxic visible fumes that irritate your eyes and arrest your breathing to the point of choking. Never ever doing that again. I thought consumer grade products were just too weak for something as dirty as that but this one seems to do 90% as good which is good enough, wish I used this instead
I think with agitation you’d see closer to 95%. You would have to go back and re apply, with a tar remover, once the wheels were off to get 98% of contaminants off. But, I can’t believe you did that! 3-4 years of neglect of your car and you decide cleaning the wheels was the first step?
Jokes on you my knickers were already twisted when I got here
Any leftover spots wil come off with laquer thinner too , sucks cleaning rims that are too far gone but did a nice job the best they will get haha
That meguairs non acid wheel and tire cleaner is a pretty impressive product I would suggest using that
What is the reason for the color turning to bright red after spraying wheel cleaner in the car?
I bought used wheels that had plenty of brake dust. This bottle is worth every penny of it!!!!
Nice work. My wheels get caked by week 3 of driving so i have to use brake buster so often... any suggestions for dressing wheels to keep from caking fast?
I use harpic limescale remover x10 from home & bargains, really eats out the brake dust, used it on my volvo wheels and have used it for the last 2 years on my jag and i have not noticed any problems, probably would not use it on brand new very expensive alloys but for older stuff wheels, its ace and only costs £1.
Do you train that trigger finger or are you just naturally gifted?
Bit of both 👀
I tried several nothing works but I'm seeing this one it sure works better what is it the name of that chemical you used on the wheel
The parents Volvo is still kicking! Heck yeah!!
Any tips on removing the tiny stubborn specks of brake dust left on the wheel afterwards? I've tried acidic wheel cleaner and also clay bar, no luck with either.
It's probably tar, try a tar remover.
@@samuelhall2397 it's not tar. White wheels, high dust performance pads. I missed a week or 3 of cleaning wheels and now when i clean them, 97% of the dust comes off except for those little specks.
A chisel and a hammer
What's the big brush you're using there please? Anything on amazon similar
Name of the music?
I've always liked Bilt Hamber's wheel cleaner because of the same purple bleeding effect. How does this product compare?
I've used P&S Brake Buster on wheels that looked way worse than this one and it cleaned them to like new with a single application and gentle brushing.
Is this stuff safe to use on professionally restored wheels?
How do You get the remaining crap out from the corners of the spokes please?
Do the tires get discolored by the dust remover spray?
What type of brush is that.
..All I use is a small bucket, half-filled with soapy water (powder-soap used for washing clothes), and my trusty old ordinary SPUNGE. Brings back the shine on all four rims. And if there's cv-joint grease on the rim, I just spray a bit of degreaser beforehand, and wash off after 30 seconds of letting it sit. Gets the job done everytime 😉👌
Don't. Need. Shine.
We came for baked on brake dust.
This better than suds labs wheel cleaner in the brown bottle?
Reminds me that I have ceramic brakes, but I still probably want to take Mt wheels off at some point and clean the backsides and insides
That's just a lot of brake dust over a prolonged period. Proper baked on stains the alloy and can't be removed. Almost like it etches itself to the alloy. I did use bilt hamber, but found it would sit in behind the centre caps no matter how much rinsing. It would seep out when you drove. The only solution would be to remove the cap prior to use. But run the risk of damaging the cap if not removing the wheel.
Can i use this product on paint?
Whole bottle per wheel
Dawn dish soap and a brush. Same results. Or for old aluminum wheels oven cleaner does the job
Amazing and satisfying
Then you drive the car once and it’s back. Hate it when that happens 😅
What about the inside of the barrel?
Even the coat came off
Ready for the weekend

Thanks for this CCG, you got me back into detailing with your 50k subscriber special video that made me laugh.
Any chance of doing a one bottle 'Wash n Wax' comparison for occasional maintenance washing?
I use Zip Wax for my occasional quick n dirty weekend.
Wonder if there is a better single-bottle wash n wax product out there.
Hi CCG, I have a serious question about de-ionising water - do you know of or can you recommend a de-ionising setup? Some US detailers use setups designed for RVs (motorhomes). Why I ask - where I live the water is extremely hard (60°FH) and contains CaCO3 BUT ALSO Gypsum (Calcium Sulphate CaSO4) that is NOT removed by my water softener. The aim of the de-ioniser would be to remove the Gypsum from the water so I can rinse and not get white marks all over the car.
I have a softened water connection in the garage (12°FH) which should be good for washing but I still need to de-ionise it for rinsing the car. Any ideas? All the best, Rob in Switzerland
This video makes me feel better about my own work. I did a relatives car the other day and was gutted that there was still stubborn crap left in the corners of the alloys, even after 2-3 passes, lots of scrubbing, and 0.5l of wheel cleaner later the corners still had crap in them. How would you deal with this? Just keep persisting with the wheel cleaner? I was thinking that then I thought this is starting to get expensive with how much I was using. Any help is appreciated
If an active cleaner like this doesn’t shift it then a dedicated wheel acid is your last shot. If that doesn’t shift it then they’ll probably need a full refurbish as there’s only so far you can go with cleaning.
What about the corners .. jk they cleaned up well
For wheels, can you just spray iron remover on or does it have to be agitated with a brush? I of course use brush afterwards with soap but just wondering if the iron remove also needs a brush
You can spray, soak & rinse if they’re not too bad but ideally you would want to agitate with an appropriate brush to get the best out of the product.
Damn used half a bottle and you still missed a couple spots. Cmon
How do you clean the break rotors?? After I applied the iron remover and rinsed it off I noticed the rotor looked even worse than before!!
You don’t, you can use a rust inhibitor like Bilt Hamber Atom Mac before and after to reduce how rusty they get during the cleaning process but intentionally spraying them with an active product like this will just turn them orange and make a big mess of your freshly cleaned wheels as soon as you brake.
How bout the inside of the wheel?
Better than Bilt Hamber?
you have to hashtag it in the title with "#shorts"
If it’s 60 secs or less and vertical aspect YT will class it as a short and auto-generate a short-stamped thumbnail.
And thus the entire bottle is almost empty- lol - pressure washer works
I’m more impressed by your forearm endurance. You’ve been uhh… doing this for awhile, ey? 😉
It turns purple.sold.
16 bucks is pretty expensive for the wheel cleaner and it won't last long with the amount that you are using. Any cheaper options?
Tire magnet?
Good old volvo arcadia alloy there very robust lacquer on these wheels
4 bottles per car, seems logical with the price of these products fml
I do the same but with purple power
My Volvo had this problem too
I switched to ceramic brakes 👍
How much did that cost? They ain’t cheap?
@@davezeraschi7936 100$ for each set

That’s more like it 👍🏻
Name of this product and where can u get it?
Should be linked in the description…
Can this cause damage to the paint on the wheels
Only if left to dry.
There goes one bottle per rim
Dude been hitting cribs
Arcadia, nice!
That smell is truly unique. Iykyk
Guru, please upload a full blown video soon. Have been waiting for it..
I’m always committed, it just takes time when you’re a one man band.

Hallo what‘s the name of the song ?
i use chemical that is used to clean stove, its 2 dollars and it comes in spray with active foam u let to be on rim for 15 mins and u clean it with rag
random but... what song plz?
On where can i buy this pls
The link in the description 😬
Yeah good semi old Volvo still living 👍💪
There still dust on there ha ha
Are those BBS Nebulas on the Volvos - maybe an S60?
Arcadia on old V40.
Okay so how do you fix the chips.
Full refurb needed.
Takes me 2hours wow
Use aluminium cleaner. Cheap as chips and far, far more effective. And it DOES NOT ruin alloys of any type.
Man those wheels look like they’ve been neglected for so long cuz of the de-colored corners that the brake dust eats away at
I think for that level of brake dust, i'll use a acid cleaner
Like the vid but the counters still have caked on and the rims need to be redone anyway but that product looks amazing
I spent a good half hour on the face. Seized caliper had messed them up good & proper. Either acid or a refurb to get them any better 🤷♂️.
Ok so we’ve established that scrubbing your wheels will indeed clean them. Anyone have any recommendations for a real spray on cleaner that actually works?
This provided you’re not hoping to miraculously transform a wheel that’s been battered by a seized brake caliper.
My wheels are clean. Gets washed twice a week. But being able to hit it with a spray prior to the washing and have it remove the gunk during the wash would be nice.
So being its rapid clean does that mean i have to squeeze the trigger like a machine gun like you did?
Only if you’re against the clock!
@@CarCleaningGuru 😂
Is this safe on satin finish black aftermarket wheels?
Safe on anything
You can use it on car body too
What’s the song? It’s very relaxing
Still got a lot of built up gunk dirt grime and bile in the corners all around the wheel. Fail bruh
Read the description bruh
