RE: Help! Brake Dust

["Duff, Ian" <iduff@charter.com>]

I've tried Palmolive, Simple Green and the Turtle Wax stuff, and the
Turtle Wax stuff works *much* better on my already crummy looking
Speedlines than either of the other two. I haven't suffered from a
wallet full enough to allow the P21S stuff yet. I'd go for the Turtle
Wax goo, in lieu of the presumably more expensive P21S.
