I have noticed that my front wheels always have a layer of gunk / smudge on them. Even a fresh car wash doesn't take the stuff off. (The photo below shows the difference a bit, though it is cloudy today so I can't get a true "shine-test" comparison.)
If I wipe my finger against a back wheel, a little bit of smudge comes off. If I wipe my finger against a front wheel, my finger looks like I was just handling coal dust or something.
A bit of Googling suggests this may be non-harmful brake dust buildup. Does anyone else get this? If so, any suggestions on the best way to clean it without possibly harming the wheels?
