I've always used a clay bar with great success.

I've got so much all over the rear of my car it's insane. Recently clayed the whole car and got a bunch off but I think the rear needs a professional paint correction done on it with power tools that I don't have.

Hoping to do this at some point this car season. A good detail from a reputable guy around here is expensive.

The back end of my car is covered in it. Getting Akebono pads put on next week along with a $600 2 Step Paint correction. Hopefully my car looks flawless after.

I have had the Akebono ceramic pads for 2 weeks so far.
Zero brake dust + amazing performance + zero noise
Highly recommended

I detail my own car. I use Chemical Guys products and do my own claying, paint corrections, glazing, sealing, and waxing. I use the Torq Random Orbital polisher. It saves me so much money, but it’s sooooo much work haha. But otherwise yeah I guess taking it to get detailed is the other option. I must say I’ve never heard of brake dust gathering on the rear bumper

The smell is horrendous, but I agree as well. Great product.

Yes you're not the first person to make the observation. Idk how it got there, but its there.

Thanks for the tips, I may get it detailed and/or try IronX.
