How many times have you washed your ride and got that sick feeling in your stomach because the next evening your rims already look like they have changed color?

The Procter and Gamble dusting cloths that have been used in homes worldwide will help remove brake dust from your rims almost effortlessly without chemicals.

This product won't remove spots or other "stuck" on stuff but if your rims are still clean except for the brake dust, Swiffer dusting cloths will let you zoom over the surface quickly and attract brake dust like a magnet.

Be sure and wear some type of glove when using this product because your hands will definitely be covered with dust before you are done.

Note: These dusting cloths are great for your interior as well. They form easily to any shape and can clean those tight crevices w/o chemicals.

What a great tip! You should go on the homeshopping network selling them. I think they never thought of using swiffer cloths to clean brakedust of wheels. I've bought a Smart Brabus for my wife and the car has very nice polished 16 inch wheels. The only problem is that the frontwheels get brakedust at them after the smallest ride.. I'm gonna try it this afternoon!

Again great tip!! Keep 'em coming! :D

Using Never Dull on your wheels is great as well. Once you put it on all you have to do is spray it off. No wiping at all.
I have less dust on my wheels when I take it to the wash as well.

When I was in miami it noticed that 80% of the cars (especially the ones with chrome wheels) had perfect clean wheels. I was thinking that people were buffing them all day to keep them so clean. Do you think they used a similar product kigerka????

Well, I am not sure. If you can come on to a US air base you can pick it up for a about ?2.00
If not I can get you some. The Netherlands is not that far away.

I think you need military ID's to purchase stuff on military bases, or even to enter a military base...?!

Never Dull would deffinetly get you high. A can of that stuff lasts a long time.

If you are a contractor for the US or in the military that is part of NATO you can come onto US installations.
Seriously if you want to try I would glad to help.

Later,

New Update. I found Never Dull on the German Market. You can buy it here franzose.de. I must mention though that the price is almost 3 times more then what I pay.

Which wheel model do you have? Does Never dull work on painted rims?
I read the instructions and painted surfaces weren't mentioned.
Never Dull is for sale here<---.
