I have those Eraser (Mr. Clean I think) blocks for my wheels. They work absolutely great on the wheels so I was already impressed with how easilly they took of the brake dust.

I was washing the car today and noticed a scrape where someone got me with their door. No ding but a pretty good scrape on the rear fender. I tried the clay bar but it didn't take it out. So I was cleaning the wheels with an Eraser and though I'd try a clean one on the scrape.

It took it off!!!!!!!!!! Buffed it out with a little polish and it looks great.

Magic Erasers are abrasive. Your wheel's are clearcoated. It will eat through your clearcoat. Not a good idea.

They make a Mr Clean Erasers for your rims too. I don;t like that one much... but I use the regular kind in my interior all the time. Works like a champ.

The Mr. Clean Auto Dry REALLY works and my car looked great the other day cleaning it, and the car dryed up within 5 minutes!!!! I highly recommend the Mr. Clean Auto Dry system, 40 bucks well worth it!

I honestly didn't like the Mr. Clean Auto Dry....nothing cleans your car better than a nice wash and dry the old fashioned way, by hand. I also use the Mr. Clean wheel bars, they work great

I HATE that Mr Clean Auto dry. My car doesn't feel that smooth after I'm done... like it's taking my wax job off.

I bought the autodry while I still had my 2000 Stang. I used it once and also didn't like the feel of my cars surface... which had just been waxed a couple weeks before... after using it... and within a couple weeks it started looking like it needed waxed again. :bang: Ive not used it since... altho I've considered just using the filtering part for the rinse as I do a normal hand wash because we have really hard water.

The Mr Clean erasers work wonders for removing wax off of any black plastic surfaces . Just use one dry.

Clean your rims up real good, then apply this:

Brake dust won't stick, comes off easy with a soapy sponge.

I also use my electric leaf blower to quickly remove most of the water when I'm done washing my vehicles. My neighbors might think I've gone insane, but hey it works great for me. I've been using this method for years... before I ever heard of anyone else doing it.

It is especially good at getting the water off of the wheels and tires. Using the blower really speeds up the job and saves having to use a ton of towels. Usually one small towel is all I need after using the blower.

I am in the leaf blower drying club too. Can't say I thought of it, got if from the Zaino guy. It works great, better than a shamois(sp.) or shammy or however you spell it. The only problem (which a coat of Z6 takes care of with ease) is that when you blow the big sitting water spots, sometimes I get really small water spots on the car. But like I said, Zaino Z6 takes care of it in a jiffy!
