Stalker was over today... instead of using Pinnacle, we used All in 1 Klasse. It was nice... :Idunno: PITA to remove... I know you were getting worried Pej, but you knew I'd get it off. secrets
Thanks for the help. but you missed some spots on the rims. :p

Im so shiny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Klasse looks amazing. I put on too much sealer and glaze so it was a little hard to get off, but it looks amazing IMO, Im gonna put on another coat of the Sealer and Glaze next week. Had a good time hangin out with Chris and getting slaved. I got so many stares driving home. I didn't wash my wheels right after the track date and the brake dust was like caked on, to so much time to get it off, wow.

Buy BMW OEM Wheel Cleaner from any dealership (used to be about $7 for white bottle but now with new gray bottle it is $11.50),
1) spray it on a rim (preferably when it is not too hot)
2) let it sit for a minute or two tops
3) spray it off with pressure water
95+% of brake dust will come off without any effort.... as long as you do this at least one a week.
I tried other from Crappy tire, as well as the german P21S but keep coming back to this one. I dont use any other BMW cleaner product but many people agree that their OEM Wheel cleaner is really good.
Of course switching to low dust pad will make your life even more easier.

I clean my rims at least once a week so I don't use any cleaner at all, just water and a towel. The brake dust comes off quite easily if you clean your rims often enough.
Klasse is some wicked stuff... I've been using it for about 5 years now... the SG is damn tough to get off, but if you use a semi damp cloth it'll be fine... Its probably the easiest stuff i've used.. dont have to worry about staining the plastic parts too... I've got a few sets lying around if anyone is interested. just PM me

We actually had to spray a little Z6 to help get the SG off.

Meguire's "Hot Wheels" cleaner is also a really great product for getting rid of brake dust on the wheels. I think it is about $10 or so for the bottle. I swear by Meguire's everything, so I may be a little biased, but their products have always worked very well for me.

Guys, this thread is suppose to be about how great my car looks, lets get back on topic here. LOL, kidding.

I've read several claims that the OEM BMW wheel cleaner is actually re-badged P21S. At $11.50 the BMW version is actually cheaper than P21S.
P21S was my current favourite for after-track cleaning but I just tried Eagle One's A2Z after reading about it G u r u Reports and I have to say I can see why it came out on top by a mile in the comparison of 32 products. P21S came in mid-pack.

uh.. your car looks great Pej and great job Chrissy...
now, I just used the BMW wheel cleaner yesterday to clean off the dust from the track day and it worked great as always, barely had to use my soft bristle brush. I wished they sold it in bulk because it doesn't last very long when you have the basket weave design to spray...

I miss my car. Driving a Civic down here in the Caymans for now. Its actually a very nice little car, its an 05. I think I will be getting a Lexus ES soon though. Car prices are nutz down here since the hurricane.

LOL, he is not even allowed to drive it to much, lol. Around the block. There is actually 2 EU M3s in the parking lot always here, they belong to some ppl who work for the one of the local cell phone providers on the island, an 05 E55 too. I have actually seen a few 360 spyders too. You cant go fast at all on the island, so there is no point to have these cars here. Either way, there is some serious $$$ on this little piece of land in the middle of no where.
