On a new sti7 uk type, I am having constant trouble keeping the wheels clean.

LOADS of brake dust. No....heavy braking not the problem.
Only 400 miles.

Are they 'bedding in'?

Any suggestions?

Thanks

clean the wheels properly then polish them realy well, it will help stop the brake dust from sticking.

I believe you can buy some barrier stuff for your wheels which stops the brake dust sticking to them. Autoglym maybe? How vague is that!

More info, Turtle Wax do it and it's available from Halfords (or at least in Charlton it is). About £5 or so.

Thanks.

Anyone ha trouble with static build up on waxed paintwork.

Dust seems to stick to it. Are there such things as anti static cloths?

Thanks again.
