Didn't work that great on my Audi. Damned semi metallic pads turned my black wheels red/brown. THe fronts aren't that bad since I put on ceramic pads. Pulled the left rear off over the weekend, scrubbed with Simple Green full strength and most of the brake is still there. Couldn't change the pads because I found out I had those adjustable pistons out back. Waiting for the tool to arrive. Then will try the Dawn method.

Back in the day, one of my fanatical friends used IronX to clean off the brake dust. You have to pull the wheels, soak them in IronX and scrub hard.
