    Some SONAX Wheel Cleaner Plus or CarPro Iron X Iron Remover will help clean that up.

    haha. Well if you don`t go that route you will most likely have to order online. If you have any detailing supply places near you they might have some but the ones I have been to do not. Only light agitation is usually needed after letting these dwell for a few minutes.

    Here is a thread on a couple of them.

    Formerly the "Best Detailer", now just Super Wax Waster Man. Not necessarily tactful, but normally right. It`s good to be da King !!!

    Pontiac whore- I`ve done OK using the "fiber bristle brush" attachment on a Dremel when things were really bad. Maybe something to keep in mind if the recommended chemicals and less aggressive scrubbing media don`t work.

    Ya know, overall those are in *GREAT* shape! I have a sorta special interest in this as a `77 TA (with the silver version of those wheels) was my first nice car.
