One big problem I have had is having to spend a lot of time cleaning the brake dust and rubber off wheels of a car after I have it on a track. This may be "old" info for a number of you, but I thought it would be a good idea to share a process I have worked out which makes this job considerably easier. And it seems to work on a variety of wheel types.
One example-a Porsche GT3 RS, stock Michelin Pilot Sport Cup[MPSC] tires and brake pads, both silver and orange wheels. When I return from a track event, I remove the wheels to clean the front rotor holes and check pad wear etc. A bit of a PITA, but a necessary safety check before hitting the track again.
.Wash wheels with water and sponge.
.Dry and clean off any rubber/tar etc marks with 3M Adhesive Remover-wipe
area immediately with damp micro fiber towel.
.Apply coat of Klasse AIO, inside and out.
.Apply coat of Klasse Sealant Glaze, let dry for ~12 hours, wipe down, let
wheels sit for 24 hours.
.Repeat KSG.
.Apply Pinnacle Souveran Carnuba wax and remove.
Wheels are much easier to clean up after doing this, both from track work and/or normal street driving.
