Mg4 xpower Front brake pads

[Chrisdriving]

Mine is outside all the time, never actually done anything particular to the hubs, they just get cleaned when i wash car.
Usually once a fortnight, southern UK near coast.
I use the BH snowfoam above and once a month the wheels get sprayed with a spray on rinse off ceramic sealant, wetcoat.

I use Bilt Hamber Autofoam all the time as a pre-wash and it has'nt helped mine that much but I do spray some diluted wheel cleaner on first usually, so I suspect that may be why mine were worse than yours .

My car was also two years old and suffered two winters

I also do the final rinse with de-ionised water in Summer to avoid water spots so that did'nt help much either. I'll see how I get on with the Atom Mac on my ID7 brakes and hubs, as VW hubs are also prone to rust from my experience . Would you believe the ID7 GTX rear brakes are drums !! ... I was quite surprised given the weight and power !!

Seem funny how you have to mix it with water, which is a big contributor to corrosion

Yes, the best and most appropriate method is to use de-ionised water and fortunately I have a water de-ioniser filter I can connect to before the jet washeras welll as diluting things like Atom Mac. Well worth having a filter if you're a detailing geek and wash dark cars in Summer

WOW, they are worse than mine. But yours have done 2 winters, and mine only one, so guess, that's why. Really spoils it.
And it's relatively easy to sort. Just never got round to it. Now winter's round the corner again.
