brake dust on my TE-37 :eek:
I've a big problem here!
I'm using the Carbotech brake pad on my S2000 now and they dust and squeak alot. I was only going to use it on the track but I haven't have time to swap it back out yet......and now my Volks TE-37 are all 
ed up because of the brake dust on it and those brake dust won't come off. I used eagle one wheel cleaner and black magic wheel cleaner and doesn't seems to work. Those brake dust are stuck on my front wheels and not the back wheels. It just won't come off..........
What should I do? Are there any product out there that will remove these nasty brake dust?

There are many reasons true high performance brake pads should not be left on for street driving; this is clearly one of them.
Good luck with the wheels, I know of no product that will get old backed/burned dust off wheels once it has cooled. Chemicals are not going to do it, I suspect you will have to try some abrasives, and be prepared to have the wheels refinished. Other people may have other suggestions, and I hope they work, but my experience was unpleasant.
I use Hawk Blue pads on the track only, the dust those pads create is very harmful, and if the stuff gets wet, forget it, it will not come off if it gets a chance to dry, I know, the one and only time it happened to me years ago, I had to sand the wheels and repainted them during that winter season.
