Shortly after I brought home my new Volvo S60R, I was trying different ways to keep the alloy wheels clean. I tried hosing a wheel off with water, followed by a wheel brush (with no detergent). Big mistake!
The brake dust collected up into some sort of sludge goo, and got wedged in the indented "R" on the wheel. I cannot find a way to get rid of this goo. I tried digging at it with a tooth brush, with multiple treatments of p21s wheel cleaner, and bug and tar remover. After several months of trying I`ve managed to get rid of some of the main goo, but the "R" still looks black instead of the desired silver.
I tried searching this forum for suggestions, but "brake dust goo" didn`t turn up anything. Does anyone have a suggestion for what to try for removing this completely?
TIA.
