Lexus LX570 rim coating damage issue due to brake dust or cleaning product on Lexus LX570

Some Lexus LX570 owners report experiencing rim coating damage due to brake dust and improper cleaning methods. They note that if brake dust is not regularly and properly cleaned, it can be corrosive, particularly affecting chrome rims which are especially vulnerable. Additionally, some owners find that metallic brake dust can etch into the protective coating on alloy wheels, leading to corrosion and permanent damage if left uncleaned. Many have also discovered that using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners can damage the rim finish, emphasizing the importance of using wheel cleaners specifically designed for brake dust removal. Regular cleaning is crucial, as owners report that more frequent maintenance reduces brake dust accumulation and minimizes the risk of damage. Furthermore, they advise against allowing brake dust to sit on the wheels for extended periods, as this can adversely affect the protective coating and lead to significant corrosion issues.
