Hi all, I am a keen amateur driveway detailer but I have come up against something that is beginning to annoy me.

After washing, drying etc the wheels on my car I get the standard orange brake discs (even with using a blower to assist drying). First drive after the wash process and I have this rust all over the barrels and lightly on the spokes of my previously immaculate wheels.

Now if I was to pressure wash them again then I'm just going to end up with orange discs again and I'm back to the beginning.

What have you guys worked out to deal with this?

Thanks

XF-Andy

Thank you all, I think it will have to be a quick whizz up and down the drive and then try not to get the wheels too wet from the rest of the wash.
