Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Each wheel of my 2002 vw gti 337 has been impregnated w/ wheel brake dust. the dust has not been removable since it has embedded itself in the clear coat. the finish on each of the wheels has also gotten rougher over time, which i believe is a result of the brake dust eating away at the clear coat finish.*ak
