Nice vid and a good way to clean rims with brake dust buildup. I just have one suggestion, rather than using brushes and cleaner...scrub pads/cleaner (gloves) would do a far better job of removing the crud from the inside of the rims. Nothing harsh, just nylon pads so you're not damaging the painted surface...Gary

I know of a better way to get the job done. Find a store that sells Naval Jelly, purchase a paint brush for a dollar, go home and wash your rims, apply Naval Jelly using the one dollar paint brush, let it sit for fifteen minutes, wash off and Voila. You're done and with lots of time to relax.

German cars are very hard to compare to when it comes to brake dust build, im saying that with experience of working on other cars/rims. That being said this car had roughly 3 years of brake dust build on the inner rim. The video might make it seem like it came off easily but you have no idea how many hours were put into those rims off camera. Notice the first before shots how dirty it is, then right when i rinse the wheels it covers all the brown making it LOOK like its gone but its actually not. If that method works for your wifes car then thats great, but i might suggest that you use other than the tire brush because it will scratch your the rims ruining the clarity and shine, you just might not be able to see it at first when your brushing.
