Ceramic Brakes

[wifpd4]

I'm looking for an article or thread discussing what product(s) NOT to use when cleaning a vehicle with ceramic brakes. Would someone be kind enough to point it out to me or just tell me what NOT to use.

Thanks,

Re: Ceramic Brakes

Hi,

I've red in a Swiss forum that wheel cleaner could attack the natural resin of carbon ceramic brakes. ( http://www.fahrzeugpflegeforum.ch/in...d&threadID=109 )

Re: Ceramic Brakes

Do a goog search and there are a few post about it.

Soap and water only.
I just read a bunch of other forums and that's the consensus.
I would then apply break dust barrier (wrap the rotor or remove the rim) to the entire rim so cleaning them will be easier in the future.

Sorry, I couldn't get link to work. I had read that somewhere too, but was unable to find again.

I had searched here thinking I'd read it here, but didn't find it. Was thinking it said don't use All Purpose Cleaner.

Lately, I've been using Brake Dust Barrier on the face of rims for a little salt protection.

Thanks,
