Garage queen with no brake dust...

[Lexi65]

Can I use car shampoo to clean my rims and tires... They're
never really dirty and absolutely no brake dust. Feed back please
:buffing:

For your wheels; yes that's fine.

For your tires you maybe need to hit them with some all purpose cleaner here and there to help combat the appearance issue caused by tire browning (bloom).

If the wheels are painted I don't see why they would be any different than the painted car. For tires, I would not drag any wash mitt across them then ever drag it across the painted surface of the car or wheels.

Rims aren't painted.. They're alloy. Confused by your other comment...are you saying NOT to use same mitt on car paint. Of course, I wouldn't. Feed back please

I use separate bucket, separate washing mitt, Daytona brush,wheel woollies etc.:buffing:

I use nothing but car shampoo on my wheels. My tires get Mothers Wheel Cleaner maybe once a month or whenever I want to apply a new dressing. My vehicles are far from "garage queens" but they do get washed once a week regardless of weather,.

From the above description...
I see absolutely no reason why car-wash shampoo cannot be used to clean these tires and wheels.

With that being said:
Absolutely no brake dust?
Is it ever driven? "Special" braking system components?

No brake dust...use it for grocery runs and to occasionally drive to the suburbs. Not a DD at all.

I understood that it's a Garage Queen.
But...What vehicle has brakes that don't "dust"?

Ah, a car trivia question!

A Jaguar with inboard brakes?
(There'd still be dust but I assume it doesn't reach the wheels)
