Hope someone can help....Now that my "S" is here, my dad is trying to detail is Mercedes to keep it from detracting from the Mini. His front wheels have the most stubborn brake dust...can't budge it. Been baked on for a couple years...any ideas??? much appreciated!!!!

I don't know what sort of wheels your dad's Mercedes has, but I've found that the Zaino claybar does wonders for removing brake dust. Then once you've removed it, you can polish it with the Zaino products and then it's easier to get off the next time.

I think you can find that stuff at www.zainobros.com.
