By owning a car, you certainly have the responsibility to provide the best care for your car so that its condition remains optimal. There are even some car owners who neglect maintenance on certain components of the car even though they know that the condition is not optimal.

One of the things you need to pay attention to is cleaning the brake pad residue on your car's rims. If this component is not cleaned for a long time, dirt such as oil and dust on the discs and buttons will accumulate. This will cause the brakes to make a squeaking sound that is disturbing.

Remove Brake Pad Residue from Car Rims

When the car is braked, the brake pads will rub against the disc rotor. This can produce dust or brake pad residue that can stick to your car's rims. As a result, if not cleaned, the residue will enter the pores of the paint on your rims.

Therefore, here are some ways to remove brake pad residue from your car's rims:

1. Remove the rim or wheel

The first step you need to take to clean the brake pad residue from your car's rims is to remove the rim or wheel using a car wheel key. This will make it easier for you to clean.

2.  Spray brake cleaner

After your car's rim is removed, spray the brake cleaner evenly. Make sure to keep a distance of about 15 cm between the disc and the brake cleaner you are using.

After that, you can wipe off the remaining dirt stuck to the disc with a clean cloth. If the result is not clean yet, you can repeat it as before until the result is truly optimal.

3. Also clean the drum part

Next, you also need to clean the drum part. To clean this part, you need to remove it first by tapping it gently with a hammer.

Once removed, you can see a lot of dirt and residue stuck to this part. The way to clean it is by using a compressor or a soft brush to remove the dust and dirt that is stuck.

If the entire surface is clean, you can also spray this part with brake cleaner as in the previous step. Repeat until it is completely clean.

Take Care of Your Car by Doing Regular Service!

From the explanation above, you certainly know that maintaining every component of the car is necessary so that you can feel comfortable driving your car. So, what if you never clean the brake pad residue from your car's rims?
