Re: Cleaning inner wheel barrels
You try some of your Meg's Mag polish with some #0000 steel wool, or something a little more aggressive if the #0000 isn't enough.

I would not use steel wool since they are clear coated and/or painted. You need to find a very strong solvent to loosen the debris up. It might just be baked in there also.

Re: Cleaning inner wheel barrels
I've done the same to my wheels in the past on a used Grand Voyager I have. They weren't cared for and were a mess(back side). Mine aren't painted or cleared, raw aluminum (again the back side), steel wool, paint thinner to remove old tar. I came close to getting the sand blaster out. I did get them cleaned up ok. What did I use? Any and everything I had. Didn't hurt anything. In my case, anything would look better than they did.

Judging by the spot tests only the front is coated. Which is probably why the remaining crud is hunkered down so well.

Re: Cleaning inner wheel barrels
those look like pitting and due to the materials in brake pads sitting on wheels and baking into finish while hot. I doubt you can remove, but using a sealant like Poorboys or Klasse AIO may help from getting worse.

It appears mine are only coated on the front as well. I was hoping you'd have better news for me. Just wondering if one of those acid-based cleaners everyone avoids might be the ticket?

Steel Wool is a big, big no,no.........that will strip all protection of the MFG. Try diluted ammonia or Meg's APC.......steel wool is not cool !!

Re: Cleaning inner wheel barrels
Mothers PowerMetal Aluminum applied by hand with a Microfiber towel. That's the strongest combination I've tried so far; I actually also last used it to clean the insides of my Subaru's wheels.
