how to remove baked on wheek brake dust and grime!
my neighbor wanted me to clean the alloy wheels on there suv, i tried 3 different cleaners i bought all from AG and nothing will remove the baked on brake dust/road grime on the wheels.
my question to you guys is what do u do in a situation like this? i think maybe i need something a bit more strong to use but don't want to risk ruining the finish of the alloy wheels.
what products would u guys recommend?
or suggest i do?
i followed the bottles instructions as well.

Re: how to remove baked on wheek brake dust and grime!
I've run into the same problem on my girlfriends Malibu, waiting for my sonax to get here to try that, if that doesn't work I am going to try steam. But I tried 3 different wheels cleaners, oil eater, simple green diluted and straight... nothing touched that stuff... I wonder if Iron X might do anything?????

Sounds like you have some tough wheels to get clean. I had the same experience recently...the most hideous wheels I've ever done.
I used Sonax wheel cleaner followed by Meg's Hot Rims Wheel Cleaner.
Here is a link to the process I went through. I think if Sonax and Megs Hot Rims can do what it did for these wheels, they should be able to help you out...
Hideous 9 year old wheels get first cleaning – EVER!
