View Full Version : any1 have industrial tar/brake dust remover?
on the edges of my alloys i have thick tar and brake dust baked on, is there anything of industrial strength some1 can get me that will just melt it away>?
Tried some brake sleaner? its less nasty to paint than good ol dot 4

The stuff I have is called Tardis.
Its pretty potent stuff but won't damage your paintwork or wheels.
