Cleaning aluminum wheels?
okay, i just bought a set of aluminum 16.5's and the previous owner didnt exactly clean all the gunk off them but the wheels are in good shape.
its mostly brake dust but no matter what ive used so far i cant get it all off,ive tried aluminum wheel cleaner ive soaked em good with it and took a strong water blaster to it and still cant get it all off.
heres the wheels in question, sorry for the bad pic they were takin on my cellphone.

i washed semis for while and we used some type of acid to clean them had to be careful though leave it on the rims to long it turned them black i cant remember what its called though but that would be the stuff i would use sorry this post is useless just thought i would add this.

Use this to strip it:
Mar-Hyde(R) Tal-Strip(R) II Aircraft Coating Remover Aerosol, 3711, 12 oz, 12 per case
Of course, youll have to polish them real well and keep them polished at all times after the clearcoat is stripped off.
