Good Work. I had a ago too today, but not to the extreme of yours as I will be driving to work through some black salty back roads tomorrow. Let the sun come out, then I can happily spend some time out there with my toothbrush! :hahaha:

[karbonkid]

Wondering if anyone get this same problem with their APs?

After I clean the wheels (which this time I took off and cleaned thorough) they get rust like water all over the wheels after driven for no more than 1 mile.

Now I remember someone else posting this problem and thought they had a leak, but wondering if its common?

[Mark CSL]

Yes they all do that its the rust on the discs after washing when you move the car it spins on the wheels.

I hate this :banghead: so i dont drive it for about an hour then drive it in to the garage with my foot on the brake :thumbs:

[karbonkid]

Is this just down to the softer compound pad? Because on rear I have OEM discs and still get it. :banghead:

[Mark CSL]

Or it could just be rust as all the grey 1 are rusty :hahaha: :hahaha:

[derek]

ive never had that on my car

[bryce]

Cant imagine the black ones being rusty actually - with them being in at BMW all the time for repairs.

[derek]

maybe with the extra speed it cleans the wheels :blalalala:

[SMD]

Mine does that on the wheels after washing even with the standard brakes! :banghead:

[glendog74]

Mine too... Before and after APs.

If you have the time just let the car sit for 30 mins after a wash, or slowly drive the car forwards backwards to get rid most of it as it's easier to remove before being 'dried on' at speed!

You could get a blower from a garden store and dry them with one of them...if you're COMPLETELY ANAL like some of the guys on that 'detailing world' Forum!!!

I was reading a post the other morning about a boy who bought an ASTRA VXR Nurburgring edition (ooooooh, can you tell I'm being Cynical...is that the right word???) brand new, spend ages checking it over, as you do with a new car it is after all alot of money, but this guy got a paint depth gauge out and everything! Anyone wanna link or shall I not bore you to complete death.

I mean, respect to 1cosmicboy's efforts for getting the car from the state it was in to how she's looking these days but who buys a BRAND NEW CAR then spends 3 months detailing it???

Anyway, gotta love these Black and Silver Grey jokes, crack me up big time! :blalalala:

eay solution use a watering can to rinse and go careful. not a hose pipe and stay away fron the brakes with a hose your filling the cals with water :thumbs:

[bryce]

I know the one you mean Baz, never mind detailling a new car for 3months - buying a Vauxhall deserves a slap :wanker:

200 odd brake front wheel drive waste of space :119:
