    Excellent! I have a 5-year old vehicle. Never cleaned the wheels! Didn't have the pure vinegar at home at the time but still had a mix of vinegar, salt, and dish soap to kill the weeds. Just added baking soda to it to try, and voilà - 1 minute a wheel and the wheels are sparkling clean! Thanks a lot for the advise!

    I saw a test using wheel cleaners and all purpose cleaners and basically concluded that the results are the same. I have a ton of garage type heavy duty concentrate cleaners (simple green airplane parts extreme, simple green motorsports extreme, por-15, etc…). I tried to test these again a cheaper McGuires yesterday and the BiG problem I had was that those cleaners dry so dang fast while the dedicated wheel cleaner would foam and be able to stay on surface much longer before drying. Wonder if I should add a little dish soap to those cleaners to help foam. Or maybe it is just the nossle that provides the foam action?

      @@GK7GARAGE wrong dude, it creates just a salty substance the end, its neutral, you are left with is sodium acetate and water. Alloy disks are not damaged by some acids, so using and Acid around 2-3 PH is safe for couple of minutes, aluminum disks doesn't like high PH. If you would use some dish soap and a brush you would have the same result, maybe even better.

Spray it on any wheel...let it stay on the wheel for a couple of minutes then use your hose to spray it off..no wiping. Can be used on tires also but you may need to scrub those a bit. Works for my alloy wheels. makes them look like showroom condition. Use it in a well ventilated area.

      It's generally a good idea to know what you're talking about, instead of impulsively shooting your mouth off.
      From The Los Angeles Times, February, 1991:
      Under federal law, asbestos brake production is supposed to stop in 1993 and auto manufacturers are supposed to stop using it in new cars by 1995. By 1997, all asbestos brake linings are supposed to be off store shelves and out of new cars.
      So your rant is out of date by at least 22 years.
      Brake pads are semi-metallic, metallic or organic.
      From Your Mechanic.com:
      Organic brake pads comprise of non-metallic components like glass, rubber, and Kevlar bonded in resin. They are softer and perform better in high temperature conditions because the heat further binds the components together. Previously, organic brake pads had asbestos components, but users found that on braking, the friction resulted in asbestos dust that is very dangerous to breathe. This is why manufacturers phased out this material and the newest organic brake pads are often also called non-asbestos organic brake pads.

    You made sodium acetate, carbon dioxide and water. Worthless as a cleaning agent. Looks like you used it as a mild abrasive.
    Test baking soda and vinegar separately instead of mixing them. If the brake dust is metallic, try citric acid, which is a chelate.

    • @Anthony_in_Bloomington_Indiana
      @Anthony_in_Bloomington_Indiana 5 лет назад +1

      His mix obviously worked. You are arguing with success. And a mild abrasive is just the thing for removing brake dust.
      Good old Wikipedia tells me that citric acid is indeed a chelating agent. But where would I buy citric acid? And why would I need to, when this baking soda and vinegar mix works just fine?

    • @FrankGutowski-ls8jt
      @FrankGutowski-ls8jt 5 лет назад +1

      Anthony Starfield
      Wiki says Walmart and Target sell citric acid. Others in canning section. >90% of LemiShine dishwasher rinse aid is citric acid.
      I was pointing out what happens when they react. You get sodium acetate, water, and carbon dioxide.
      Last brake dust cleaner I bought contained hydrofluoric acid. It and nonwoven green pot scrubber still didn’t remove all, hence my skepticism. This may work on alloy wheels that still have a slick, protective lacquer coating. Mine had worn away; porous metal was very difficult to clean.
      A valid comparison test would be to use plain water, and compare it and his to a mild detergent and maybe a brake dust cleaner.
