Baked brake dust

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.
