    Ok so I've never really ran Hawk pads before...only Stoptech or carbotechs.

    I just recently bought a set of front DTC 60s since XP12s were out of stock. The brake dust from the pads is a bitch to clean off the wheels!

    Does anyone have anything they clean their wheels with that work good or makes it easier to clean???

    I've had great luck with Sonax, its sadly pricey per oz. But it works nicely with hp+

    I used a wax on the wheels after I spent hours cleaning them. Brake dust comes right off now with soap, water, and a rag.

    HP+ here as well.

    good cleansing followed by a couple of coats of carnuba wax. I usually clean and wax when I rotate tires. If you do this to the inside of the rim, trash and tar are far easier to remove.
