A good washing is no longer removing the brake dust on the front wheels. The owner's guide says I should not use anything abrasive. Is there any way to remove it (that won't damage the wheels)?
Thanks, Bob

There are a number of non-abrasive spray products out there that are safe for most (all?) alloy wheels. Audi itself sells one. Spray in on, wash off with a hose. I also use a soft bristle brush to get in the hard to reach spots. Dave

I have used Goop handcleaner or similar to clean the wheels. It really EASILY dissolves that crud on the wheels for me!

Have tried several - the best product undoubtedly the wheel cleaner from Würth which is jellyish and therefore sticks to the wheel and doesn't evaporize before you have time to flush it off with a high pressure cleaner. Normal "dish-detergent" + brush is also effective (Sunlight, Palmolive or whatever brand you're using ).

Are we really starting this issues? I've had brake dust on my wheels since the eighties. There are removers since then too.
The best solution is: keep the car in the garage.
Good luck Bob Jeep

That's one way to keep it out of the repair shop. :-)
