    When I bought my `00 Audi A4 it had a couple of small dings and scratches and I made the dealer fix them. I didn`t notice the rims had brake dust literally glued in the cracks! I`ve used everything to try to remove it. The best i got was the new Magic Eraser. Also, oxiclean, orange cleaner, Gu gone with a special brush I bought at AutoZone for cleaning wheels. I`ve also used Black Magic, and Meguire`s wheel cleaners and they where a joke. I tried the magic eraser, oxicleand and the brush yesterday. then, put Blue Magic metal polish and that took some off, but still I have an amount the size of a dime to a quarter in the cracks of the spokes. I put some NXT on them also to see if that would brake it down or to just prevent more dust caking on. I put Brembo brakes and rotors on 2 weekends ago, so I don`t get any or hardly any dust no more. Really worth it! Brembo QS Ceramic.

    What else can I do!!! I don`t want to chisel it then It ruins it no matter what. I plan on buying Kaizer 18" rims next spring, but I don`t have any flaws on this car and it bothers me dremendously!!!

    Thanks!

    Which Meguiars wheel cleaner did you try?



    Try Eagle One A2Z tire and wheel cleaner. Spray on, wait 30 seconds, and spray off. Repeat, using a brush if necessary.



    Do you have any pictures of the damaged rims?

    Hey, audipower, if EO A2Z doesn`t do it, your in trouble....leave it on up to one minute then scrub, and wash off.:up

    EO A2Z is the best, just make sure the rims are cool when you start.
