Debris in brake cooler vents

Have u guys ever check your 'brake cooler ducts'? those small stones are an ass to remove. Even pressure jet cant get rid of it.

Yeah get heaps of small stones in there, i used to try and get them out everytime i washed the car but lately it's now after every few washes. I use a hand held blower to dry the car and that tends to remove the majority of them.

"Air curtain". Not brake related.

Found this out the 1st day I drove the car home, our ( long ) drive has a different mixture of stone / road plannings on it.
I've noted it occurs when the tyres are up to a good temp and as I slowly drive along they flick the bits up into the voids.

Bit of a bind, I now put a small foam packer into them before I venture home & i remove them before pulling out onto the road..

It is very annoying. I use a shop vac with a crevis tool, seems to work fairly well.
