    Brake Dust Shields

    I've already cleaned my ES wheels a few times at the local car wash but of course some of the brake dust isn't coming off with my Black Magic "no scrub" wheel cleaner but it is rated very poorly.

    I was curious about trying some brake dust sheilds...

    They fit a 2004 Civic Hybrid, which is the second set of wheels I bought for my mirage.

    That would make a real rim look like a cheap hubcap. I grow tired with brake dust too but I wash and wax my car 3-4 times a week, more in the winter so it's not too much extra work to soap them by hand. I used to be a detailer for several dealerships in my youth and I have full access to the washbay at my current place of employment so on my lunch after I eat I head over there and give my car a nice clean inside and out.

    Edit: Not to mention that would only protect the spokes, I wash behind that area too where the brake dust falls. This area is painted too, it would be wise to use either a wheel acid or a wheel degreaser, or even some elbow grease and a wash mit to reach behind the tire and clean the inside surface
