Brake Dust on L300?
All of the brake dust that accumulates on the tire rims is driving me
crazy. Is there any way to really clean them off with out scrubbing, and scrubbing, and scrubbing? It takes we about ten minutes a tire, and they still look bad when I am done. I have tried all of theose spray on, and wash off chemicals, and they do not work very good. Is there an easy way to clean off all of this brake dust that I am not aware of? Thanks in advance, for any help on this. BILL! |

Brake Dust on L300?
I dont know whwt you are using, but I use Maguires wheel cleaner spray and
thier long wheel cleaner brush or a terry cloth. I can clean my L300 chrome wheels in minutes with little effort. If there is really excessive brake dust, then you can change out the brake pads for dust free type, buy 'em at any Auto parts store, they usually are cheaper than OEM. Also, try to avoid road tar and grease and running thru puddles, that will make brake dust turn even more messy. marx404 |

Brake Dust on L300?
only OEM parts are available usually at dealers. As said before, get the
pads at Advance Auto, AutoZone, NAPA, etc.. You can install them yourself or bring them to your dealer, they will do it. Also, there is a Technical service bulletin you can make your service dept mechanic aware of concerning complaints of excessive brake dust on L300 series, I don't know the number of that bulletin. I use Akebono brake pads, bought them at the local parts store cheap, hardly any brake dust, and what is there isn't sticky. There are other brands of dust free pads too. marx404 |
