    Rims, Need help

    OK, I have had several rims that are embedded with brake dust on the clear coat, The clearcoat is yellowing. Does not come off with regular wheel cleaner. What are you guys using to get this stuff off. It only comes off with light rubbing of steel wool and I hate doing that . Thanks

    Using a light polish, or an AIO/cleaner wax will help remove the yellow or gold staining that some of them get.

    I'd say try claying them, but it is such a PITA and is very slow.

    Steelwool on clearcoat is not recommended.
