Best product for removing brake dust from wheels?

[MustangDan]

I've been trying to clean my wheels but break dust has decided to apply its self to my wheels in a less than favorable manor.

I've tried a few cheaper with trying to get it off but now I'm willing to try something more expensive to try and remove it as I'm at my wits end with it.

Any ideas what I should use?

Thanks, Dan.

If the wheels are neglected for a long period, you may have permanent damage.

Can you describe what kind of car it is, what problem you're having? Have you had a chance to work with any of the better wheel cleaners?

Welcome aboard, Dan!

try some Eagle One A2Z you can find it @ your local autoparts store
and it is a good strong cleaner
clay can also help a good bit

also I am quite sure if you try a search you will find a ton of good info
about removing brake dust

Okay thanks for your suggestions. I was just googling about and I've found this:

GBL Wheel Cleaner

I've not really tried many other cleaners to be honest. I've scrubbed bloody hard though, Haha. Its a 95 Mustang with standard wheels.

Thanks for the help guys.

try claybar... then again like he^ said, might be permanent damage...

I use Amazing Roll Off, it works pretty well.

I use DP gel wheel cleaner, it does its job. Also, i have heard good things about Surf City Garage Beyond Steel Wheel Cleaner, i'm trying that one next.

What is the finish of the wheel. If they're aluminum (brushed or polished) be carefull what you use on them. If they're clear coated, I would try soaking them with Eagle One A2Z and letting it sit for a few before aggitating with a good stiff wheel brush. That stuff is so strong it'll take the wind out of you if you stand too close to it when you spray it.
If that doesn't work, try to clay it but I would say that you're fighting a losing battle in that case.

I use P12S wheel gel with great results. If you have really stubborn stuff you might need to try Megs Wheel Brightener. Really caustic stuff however.

They're polished aluminum. For some reason my previous post was added to the moderator Que?

Now i wouldn't try this until we get some feedback from someone else who is a bit more knowledgeable then me about it, but I've used a Mr. Clean magic eraser with pretty good success to get off really stubborn brake dust. however this was on wheels with a clear coat and it potentially could have thinned the clear pretty bad, i really have no idea what the long term consequences or risks are of that method.

Meg's Wheel Brightener is awesome. It works well, but doesn't seem that corrosive to me, at least at 4:1. A2Z is worse to breathe...
