MessageThere is a company who makes brake dust shields. They are a =
plastic dish shaped thing that fits inside the wheel. You need to buy =
four so that you do not have to remove them when rotating tires because =
they stick to the wheels. I do not believe MB recommends them because =
they do not provide ventilation. Jack Ludwick Tyler, Tex.
I.E. Just deal with it. It is a constant problem and I have two MB a =
300Turbo Diesel and a 97 320 SL. I use meguires spray it on let it =
set a couple of minutes and spray off. May require two times plus a =
little wiping. I get free car washes at my MB dealership.=20

Subject: [R129 SL] Brake dust
OK, I know I can't be the only one suffering from insufferable brake =
dust after driving, oh, three miles in my '92 500SL. So how does =
everyone deal with it? I know of some good wheel cleaners, like Eagle =
and Meguiar's, but I'm looking more for prevention, not cure. Tried =
KleenWheels and they messed with the steering, so they're out. Any pad =
that provides comparable stopping power without that big ol' cloud of =
black? Help!
