Swiffer

for Brake Dust - works like a champ. Anything wet just makes a mess, but one of these, followed by a damp cloth, is a quick and effective clean up between washings.

I told you guys that a long time ago... It is really a great tool and makes a chore an easy task.

Absolutely - they work really well. The other thing that works great for removing brake dust is an old California Duster. When mine get to the point that I can't use them on the car, I use them on the wheels.

That it does but I do not want to discard it every time I clean rims. The Swiffer fluffy pad goes straight to the garbage and that is nice.

Good for the interior dusting too - before the wheels. Swiffers are awesome.

I would agree on the swiffer duster sheets and then something damp with gloves of course. Yes, adias, you've been saying that.

A pre-coating or two with Rejex makes it even better.

Yes - and the one with the telescoping arm is best for deep wheels - you can get all the way in easily...at least it clears my rotors easily.

How dirty can they get before swiffer doesn't work?

For dusting the exterior painted surface on the car, is it safe to use a new Swiffer instead of using the California Duster? Will Swiffer leave any chemical residual on paint?

I tried this on an Imola Red BMW. It didn't work. The paint was fine but all the swiffer did was leave streaks (perhaps the polish was streaked by the swiffer) w/o picking up very much dust.

No, I don't think I'd use it on the car. Interior and wheels is perfect application.

How dirty before it doesn't work. I may never know - Black car - if the wheels are that bad, the whole thing is going to need a wash. I think the main issue is "have they been wet?" - after that you no longer have dust, you have crud.

after I used rejex on wheels - now brake dust is no issue at all, it does not stick to rims no more, i use regular cloth to wipe it off in seconds. amazing product.
