Talking Quick question

I just bought some new rims and 35" tires, however one of the wheels has "Breakdust buildup" on it pretty badly and it looks like rust but comes off with picking at it with a fingernail....How and what is the easiest way to get it off the wheel?

Switch to ceramic brake pads..If you haven't already..... It will cut about 80% of the dust down.

You can get it at Walmart or Lowes. It's a cleaner and degreaser and it's awesome. You cab get the concentrate and mix it with the appropriate amount of water and spray it on there and wipe it off after a minute
