I have a question, is it bad to leave your car sitting for a month or two with a very slight(less than 40mi worth) of brake dust on the rims. I usually take a rag and spray it with detailers wax and wipe them down every 100mi or so. I just haven't gotten around to wiping them since last time I drove. Plus I didn't think it was worth it with so little dust is on them. What do you guys do about brake dust? Does brake dust cause oxidation and thus cause the rims to be pitted??
