First of all I did search ok...The brake dust and road grime build up on my wheels is ridiculous, the previous owner had the car in a garage for almost a year and half. It has never bothered me before but after repeated washing and the stuff is still there its getting annoying fast. So does anyone know of a alloy cleaning solvent that strong enough but won't ruin the finish? I'm thinking of just spraying gumout bug and tar remover and letting it sit for a while, will that work? Thanks in advance.

 

harder brake pads..

 

im guessing paint thinner....shyt is strong

 

i've heard oven cleaner but that might strip the finish.... so might paint thinner though...

 

diesel fuel and a fine brass brush worked lightly

 

can you use a brillo pad? or steel wool and goo gone?

 

you can if your careful but Ive used the diesel and brass wire brush with good results, the diesel loosens up the break dust

 

i didnt even finish reading your post.. lol .. so ignore my reply..
