Right, am I overthinking this or can the tame detailers back me up here :)
I get fed up having to drive the car to dry the brakes off, so I'm thinking of a way to cover the brakes to keep them dry whilst washing the wheels. I'm currently thinking a shower cap, cut at the bottom so I can put it around the hub, between wheel and disc (can't be bothered taking wheels on and off)
Anyone have any ideas, or do something similar?
Feet were made to fit car pedals. If we were meant to walk, we'd have pogo sticks for legs
You drive the car just to dry the brakes off?
The 550, yes. If I put it away with wet discs it ruins themOriginally Posted by simonfr

Common thing give the car a wash dry the brakes,good practice
The cars in front are New MINI Scotland
Ah, so not being driven for a few days/weeks. Understandable.
I normally just give the car a short drive.... Hate rusty discs... And they can bind too if left wet/damp
Tried shower cap - no good, elastic too strong and caliper too big.
Back to the drawing board...

What about a bin bag? If u watch the plasti dip video on spraying wheels will show how to cover and fit as to protect the brakes.
I always drive mine after a wash and go on a "brake drying run".
What about using cling film ?
...to Infinity and beyond !!!
What a faff. I don't bother driving mine....just shoogle about the driveway a bit, back and forward then leave the handbrake off, parked in gear.
