The hood is ruined, the bumpers are ruined, the roof is chipped, there’s a crease under the tail light, and now there’s a chunk missing from one of my wheels after having the local shop replace a valve stem. Oh, and those wheels are horribly stained and get covered in brake dust in under 500 miles because race brakes.
I need to get out of school and get a job so I can get a new daily driver (probably a WRX) so I can turn this thing into a track rat so I can stop insisting on giving a shit about how it looks.

Bilt Hamber mate. Clean the wheels with Bilt Hamber Autowheels which is a wheel cleaner and brake dust/fallout remover, and spray some Bilt Hamber Atom Mac on the brakes, wheel arches, etc... it is a migratory and contact corrosion inhibitor which will reduce the amount of brake rust forms and is expelled when brakes are applied it also reduces the chances of brakes getting stuck on when the vehicle has been packed for an extended period of time.

I was hoping you would chime in. I will have to give that a try the next time the wheels come off for a deep clean.

Thanks for the tip, I bought a used set of t hose wheels for my MCS. Mine have a certain amount off baked on black junk in the corners but at least they aren’t hard to scrub up to “somewhat clean”. My Hawk HPS aren’t too dusty

You don't have to take off the wheels to apply unless you do want all the recesses behind the wheels, etc... on the brakes should last a few washes.

The wheels are going to need to come off for winter anyway and the insides are nasty so I might as well clean them when they come off the car for the season.

The Hawk HP+ turn the front wheels black in under 1k miles. They stop like you hit a tree though...
These wheels aren’t bad at all to clean. It’s a nice open design.
