Hi all,
Returning from a 1200-mile trip a couple of weeks ago, the RHF brake pads on my lunar-mileage 3-series BMW wore down to bare metal with no warning, ruining the discs and sending metal filings out through the rim and back along the whole side and glass of the car while I struggled to get home without suffering a breakdown - nervous or mechanical. This rusted with the first hint of moisture and has bound to the paint AND glass. I realise by trial and error that de-greaser, super shampoos and similar products offer the wrong chemical response and have no idea what to do. I won´t even mention the state of the RHF rim. The paint job is resilient and the rust bits will eventually disappear but I want them gone now without messing up the gloss. Does anyone know what to do?
